Chapter 187: Separation of Powers and Temperance
The reason why I think so much is because Zhao Xu has to clearly know the origin of this knot, and then he can think of specific ways to solve this matter.
This festival envoy really has a long history, and it can be said that he is an old guy, an antique-level character.
No wonder he dared to be so tough, he didn't listen to the dispatch of the central government at all, it turned out that he was an old warlord.
How long has you been established in the Great Song Dynasty, will people bird you? But fortunately, the most powerful results are still Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, and there is nothing like that.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the old rules of the Five Dynasties and the old system of the Later Zhou Dynasty were inherited, and in addition to being in charge of the state capital, the Jiedu envoy also ruled one or several state capitals, called branch counties, which were actually semi-independent small kingdoms.
In addition, many of the current festival envoys are either Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, or his subordinates back then.
These people are some generals who can fight well, and they hold nearly seventy percent of the power of the imperial court.
In other words, even if they want to rebel one day, the court will not be able to restrain them.
Wouldn't this be very dangerous, now Zhao Kuangyin and his son have begun to prepare to take back the power in their hands.
Now the decentralization that Zhao Xu is talking about, to put it bluntly, is to further limit their power, and then take back the power in their hands to prepare.
"I think we should first decentralize the power of the local envoys, they are the most powerful issue."
"First of all, our decentralization is to limit their excessive power, for example, a jiedu envoy has military power, and financial power, and at the same time has local administrative power."
This kind of festival envoy is nominally called the festival envoy, even if he is called the emperor, it is not an exaggeration, you have collected the military, political and financial power into your hands.
What else is there about the emperor, that is, your titular boss, isn't it? Although the soldiers in these places still bear the name of the imperial court.
But they will only listen to you, because in their minds, you are their most direct leader.
The emperor is only the object of their nominal allegiance, but they have never met the emperor, they only know that you are their commander.
In their eyes, you are their food and clothing, and everything they do comes from you.
Besides, you still hold the administrative power of your military town, which means that the political affairs of this area are up to you.
The appointment and dismissal of officials is not a matter of your words, and whoever disobeys them will have their black gauze hat in your hands.
Their promotion depends on what you say, and the emperor and the court can't control them, who do you say they listen to?
Under the rule of your Jiedu envoys, all the policies come from your Jiedu Envoy's mansion, and the quality of their lives is up to you.
Of course, the people under the rule of the Jiedu envoy will decide their life and death based on your actions, and they can't count on the court.
The most important thing is that you have the financial power, and what salt and iron are buried is the prerogative of the imperial court, and it will not work here.
These are all in charge of the moderation, how much to collect taxes, and how to collect them, all of which are calculated by the temperance envoys.
Think about it again, isn't the power of these knots a bit big, and even the emperor is a little bit big.
As I said earlier, you are not an emperor, but in fact, you are the actual emperor. The landlord of the earth, the emperor of the earth.
"The first step is to no longer let Jiedu make one person control the military, political and financial power, and it is too shocking for one person to control these things."
Zhao Xu didn't know what word to use to describe it, so he had to use a shocking one, in fact, he wanted to express that holding so much power in one section is definitely a threat to the imperial court.
"My lord, I don't understand why you said this, let them master so much is the court's gift to him, and it also shows their ability, why do you say that it is shocking?"
Miao Xun didn't know what this shocking thing meant here.
Zhao Xu slowly picked up the teacup and slowly tasted the tea in his hand, he came to the teahouse to drink tea!
"Sir, you are really a wise man, you are too careless, have you forgotten that the once powerful Tang Dynasty was harmed by the highest governor of the military town. ()”
"In the middle and late periods, the feudal town completely emptied the power of the central government, and later Zhu Wen also destroyed the Tang Dynasty, can it not shock the world?"
Miao Xun really shouted when he heard it, he really made a mistake, he forgot about this stubble, which court was not afraid of such a festival.
The lord in front of him is the future lord of a country, and he is definitely thinking about the first country, and the festival envoy is naturally an enemy he thinks.
Zhao Xu began to speak again:
"The reason why the Jiedu envoy is so powerful is first of all because he holds military power in his hands."
Holding military power means having a large number of troops in your hands, and with an army, you can straighten up your waist.
With the army, we have the strength to protect ourselves, and then we can further seek greater interests, and all this is based on having military power.
Miao Xun also agrees with this point of view:
"This point is really good, the root cause of cholera for five generations is the rebellion of the warriors, and a large part of the people are these temperance envoys with armies."
Miao Xun is also familiar with these wars since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and that time was not caused by the competition for territory by large and small forces.
If they don't have military power in their hands, this situation will definitely be greatly reduced, and Miao Xun is still confident in this.
Without military power, birds have no wings, tigers have no teeth, why be afraid!
"Sir, you have to understand whether you only have military power or not, why should a soldier die for you?"
"That's driven by profits, and it's also that it can bring benefits to these soldiers." It is the driving force behind human hard work.
Miao Xun also believes very much that these soldiers who follow the Jiedu envoy will not work for them without the drive of interests.
"Yes, what Mr. said is very right, that is, the festival envoy can bring them benefits, vital benefits, otherwise who will work for them?"
That is, the most direct benefit that the festival envoys can bring to their soldiers, that is, the issue of military salary.
These festivals hold the financial power in their hands, and money is not a matter for them at all.
"They said that I had the power to collect taxes, and that I did not have to hand them over to the court, and that all of them were rich landlords. If you want to use their military power, you must also take back their financial power. ”
What else can you do without money, these soldiers can't be said to be open-mouthed, but without benefits, how many people are willing to follow you willingly?
After taking back the financial power, what should you do if you want to have a military salary, don't you want to stretch out your hand to the central government to ask for it?
As long as you can stretch out your hand and think about the central government, it is equivalent to being choked by the throat of the central government.
I'm in charge of your life and death, and now I've got the final say, my word.
You are like a clay puppet in your hand at this time, you can pinch it as much as I want, and you can do whatever you want.
Cut off your money, in this era of milk is a mother, I see how long you can hold on, this is no longer a separation of power, but a direct recovery of power.
"It's a good idea, but how to take back the financial power is a very crucial part."
Miao Xun admitted that what Zhao Xu said was right, but he still had doubts, that is, what kind of method do you plan to use to dare this matter.
This is not a trivial matter, but a major matter related to the stability of the country, and if anything is not done well, it is possible to force those jiedu envoys and feudal towns to rebel.
Originally, they were not interested in your court, but now that you have such a rule, I have even more reason to oppose you.
In the end, the power of the Jiedu envoy was not withdrawn, but he was put into it.
If that's the case, you'll definitely regret it, and then at that time, you won't even have a chance to regret it.
The question Miao Xun asked is extremely good, but it can be regarded as asking the point, it can be seen that Miao Xun is not a rice bucket.
"Ahem, I haven't really thought of this problem, but these things are exactly what you smart people solve, I am only responsible for mastering the major policies and policies, and I must properly delegate power to my subordinates!"
Zhao Xu also said it again, he didn't think about how to solve this problem at all.
Besides, this problem is not a simple problem, there can be no sloppiness, he just thought of solving this problem, and he didn't know how to solve it.
Miao Xun rolled his eyes here, no wonder he said it was a rough framework, and it was really a framework.
The approximate shelf is ready, and it should be filled with things, you mean that the shelf was built by you, and the things inside are going to be filled in by us.
But since you are right, as I said earlier, you are only responsible for the general direction, you are the helmsman, and we will do the rest slowly.
To be honest, your lord, this is not a division of power, you just want to take back all the power.
As for why Zhao Xu didn't mention the matter of administrative power, Miao Xun knew in his heart that as long as there was no military power and no financial power in the local area, this administrative power would not have much significance.
When the time comes, the people sent by the central government will take over here, and you won't have a chance to resist, don't you have to obey obediently?
Without the backstage, your waist can't be straightened, what's the use, so you don't need to mention this.
As long as the direction is not biased, this point is still very correct, Miao Xun didn't say anything, at this time the storyteller also said the ** part, and the big guys were applauding and cheering for it.
At this time, one of them was dressed very formally, not very tall, with a hat on his head that was customary for southerners, and was reaching into the pockets of people. ‘
Soon a money bag appeared in his hand, and it turned out that this guy wanted to take advantage of the chaos to tie his hands and lead the sheep.
The hand is very smooth, but this sheep is not brought over, because other people's sheep are still tied to the rope!
