Chapter 565: Minority Policy
Li Chen's intention to attack those ethnic minorities was not to crusade against them, but to try to attract those Fan ethnic groups to join the Tang Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info His means is to boil the frogs in warm water, slowly, gradually to gather them.
Many of these ethnic minorities live in some deep mountains, and Li Chen has designed several steps to attract them. The first step is to try to get them to accept the Han Chinese system and customs.
These ethnic minorities are very much in need of all kinds of goods of the Tang Dynasty, such as cloth, grain, oil, salt, etc., and they will exchange local specialties with the Tang people. In the past, there were often conflicts in the area of transactions, because they were bartering, so the two parties often clashed over the differences in their perception of the goods. Those ethnic minorities often think that the Tang Dynasty businessmen are black-hearted and have cheated them.
Although, in fact, it is also true, who let these natives lack Datang goods and have little knowledge, of course, they have to exploit them. Most people swallow their anger, the worse their perception of the Han people becomes, and some can't stand it, and when they do it, things will get bigger. As a result, the estrangement between the two sides has deepened.
Li Chen first tried to improve the situation by establishing a fair trade law, allowing those people to exchange their specialties for Datang coins and then use Datang coins to shop.
Whether it is buying or selling, each item has an announcement price, and the two sides are unified in a certain place to trade, and the price of the item will be set up with a large kanban and a clear price code, so that both parties have room for reference, and the gap will not be very large.
In addition to the market order that regulates the market, it will also allow the local guild to intervene to supervise the transaction, and absolutely prohibit all kinds of fraud and malicious bargaining.
In addition to trying to make the relationship between the Fan and Han harmonious through fair trade, there is also a purpose, that is, to make them accept the control of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is the party that makes the rules, so that those people can accept the rules set by the Tang Dynasty, subtly accept the Tang law, and accept the management of the Tang officials.
Li Chen really has bad intentions, this way seems to be fair, but in fact, the pricing power, management power and other rights are in the hands of Datang. Once these people accept it, it is very likely that they will slowly accept other things in Datang, not to mention anything else, as long as the transaction between the two sides expands, all kinds of exquisite goods in Datang will be open like them.
The more they like these things, the more they can't do without them, and they can't produce them themselves, and slowly, they will accept a lot of things in Datang, Datang culture, Datang language and customs, and so on.
Li Chen believes that the superior economic environment, coupled with some policies, can absorb these people as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the soft knife is the most powerful, so that you will not be unconsciously recruited. However, the premise is to be fair, and they can't be made realize that they are different from the people of the Tang Dynasty, so that it is convenient for Li Chen to integrate them.
In addition to this strategy, Li Chen also has a trump card, which is conscription. It was not a forced conscription, but a conscription, and Li Chen recruited a large number of these ethnic minorities as soldiers.
Many years ago, Xiaohu suggested that Li Chen imitate Shu Han, establish a Wudang Flying Army, and establish a mountainous army in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chen was restructured in the army a few years ago and implemented.
He recruited a large number of ethnic minorities and established the Tang Mountain Division, as well as the Jungle Division. Recruit those ethnic minorities and mix them with Han soldiers, on the one hand, to strengthen the Tang Army's ability to fight in some special terrain. On the other hand, it plays a role in assimilation.
Let these soldiers learn Chinese, speak Chinese characters, and give them high treatment. Gradually absorb the elite among the Tibetan people.
On the one hand, weakening those ethnic minorities, the strong and strong were absorbed by the Tang Dynasty, and there was nothing they could do if they wanted to rebel. On the one hand, let culture gradually penetrate into those ethnic groups, let those who were recruited soldiers, and spread the culture of the Han people into their tribes.
These two methods are to try to integrate the relationship between Fan and He, so that they can gradually join the Tang Dynasty, and naturally they don't want to be destroyed because of judicial conflicts.
Is there any point in doing so? Those ethnic minorities, just crusade against them. In front of the musket of the Tang Dynasty, it was nothing.
If you want to say that, it's okay, those ethnic minorities, how can they be the opponents of the Tang Army. Just, why bother? Li Chen has always been the inner saint and the outer king, and he exerts royal ways on the people of the Tang Dynasty, and he is domineering to those foreigners.
The inner and outer kings demanded that the king rule by doing nothing and practice royal ways for his people. Govern the people with benevolence and righteousness. This is the answer that Li Chen got by constantly thinking about it after he ascended the throne, and it is also the traditional Confucian requirement for the king. In fact, this was originally Zhuangzi's thought and was used by Confucianism, but it doesn't matter, what matters is how to implement it.
Inaction? Of course, but it's not hollowed out, it's not like the Ming Dynasty, just let the king eat, drink, have fun and have children, and then the ministers will operate political affairs and manage the country, that is not inaction, it is hollowed out.
Li Chen hopes to rule by doing nothing, hoping that the emperor can not be a director, but when the country has problems, he can regulate and control himself. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not a rule of inaction.
Rule by inaction, there is a rule, instead of letting those ministers elevate the king, treat the king as an ornament, and then let the king die when the matter comes, most of the courtiers have nothing to do. The real rule of inaction is that the people can also participate in the opinions, not let those courtiers mess around.
In order to achieve such a goal, it is necessary to have a law, a law that encompasses the interests of all citizens, enables them to work for the same goal, and guarantees the safety of all citizens.
To achieve this goal, it is still a long time, Li Chen hopes that one day in the future, the Tang royal family can be a decoration, and then have a lofty status, like the Thai royal family, both enjoy the status and do not have to bear responsibility, the entire royal family is behind the scenes to supervise the operation of the country, whenever there is a problem in the country, only come out to repair it.
To compare it, it's like a maintenance worker, the state is a machine, and the emperor is a maintenance worker, ensuring that the machine can run normally, and there is no need to operate it normally.
The king ruled by inaction, and then treated the people under his rule in line with the idea of kingship, implemented hegemony to the outside world, and paralleled Confucianism and Legalism.
Although these ethnic minorities have also caused trouble to China in history, they are not serious, and Li Chen can tolerate them. He has the means to deal with them.
In addition to fair dealing, juries, and recruiting them as soldiers, Li Chen also plans to send a lot of people to go deep into the local area, just like the later generations helped African countries, the original ethnic minorities. In terms of medical care and economy, we will assist them and improve their lives.
Medical treatment, sending medical workers to those wild areas to see them and relieve their suffering. Economically, it is to see what local specialties there are, such as medicinal herbs, wood or dyes, etc., and guide them to sell these to Datang in exchange for what they need and improve their lives.
The area where they live is not actually productless, and there are a lot of things that are needed on the flat ground, but they have not been discovered before.
In this way, these natives are slowly dealt with with with a soft knife. Why did he use force? How troublesome, once you see blood, this feud will be settled. Li Chen remembers reading a martial arts satirical story, a man whose father died, he was learned by his father to be raised, and he also married the man's daughter, from an adoptive father to a father-in-law.
But he later found out that his father-in-law was actually his father-in-law's enemy, which is very ironic. It's not the most ironic, it's the most ironic thing is why his father-in-law wanted to kill his father, because his father killed his father-in-law's father.
It's the protagonist's biological father, who killed the father of the confidant. Why kill? Because of the father of the acquaintance.,Kill the protagonist's father to get a relative.。 Why? I don't know, anyway, this feud continues from generation to generation. In the end, I don't even know the original reason.
It's not funny, this kind of hatred will really only continue to continue, and the more terrorists do something, the more they suppress it, making the old beauty a lot of noise, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, isn't that how it came about? A missile goes down, and the terrorists die, but it also kills many innocent people.
Li Chen has watched several movies made by Americans, which are about how the United States uses Global Hawk to spy on them, and when terrorists are discovered, a missile will go down. Although there are often human struggles and tests in the film, Li Chen thinks it's funny. In fact, there are so many struggles.
A bunch of guests at the funeral confirmed the identity of the terrorists, and the missile passed, regardless of whether the others were innocent or not. The so-called struggle is only on the movie screen. -
So when it came to Li Chen, he was naturally reluctant to use troops, on the one hand, because of his own beliefs, and on the other hand, because he had a way to deal with them. No matter how smooth the war is, it will still kill people, it will cost a lot of money, and it will make enemies out of thin air. It's not terrible to make a feud, it's so terrible that you don't know it yet, then the problem is...., you can't even prevent it.
However, Li Chen will not be weak, the above are only limited to some tribes that are close to the Tang Dynasty, or at least neutral to the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't want to send those talents into an anti-Tang tribe and an unfriendly tribe. He wasn't stupid enough to deliver a knife to an enemy.
Moreover, if those who are too stubborn and think that Datang can be bullied, and regard Datang's kindness as a weak tribe, they will be taught a hard lesson. If you don't do it, you will be thunderous and make an example of the monkey.
In the following period, Li Chen held meetings with the prime minister one after another, constantly discussing the judicial reform of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chen gradually led Datang in the direction of a progressive country governed by the rule of law.
There were complaints in the local area, and those county magistrates felt that life was getting more and more difficult, and their rights had shrunk greatly, not to mention, and they didn't even have to make extra money.
Although it seems to be easier to not bear the burden of local litigation. But they still have to manage public security, and what is even worse is that now the local judicial authority is not in their hands, and those arresters and county lieutenants are now under the control of the imperial court, and they are not dumped at all, and there is no way to eat the case if they want to.
In the past, this was a way for them to make a fortune and make extra money, but now it is all cut by Li Chen. The supervision of the head is becoming stricter and stricter, and it is necessary to put forward a plan to revitalize the local economy, and life is even more difficult. The saddest thing is the "Tang Dynasty Official Property Declaration Law", which still makes people not live.
This is simply a sword hanging over the head at any time, that's what, the story of the Hu people I read in the newspaper recently, by the way, the sword of Damocles. It's a fitting metaphor.
This property declaration law really requires human life, and it can be taken out and used at any time. Unless you don't take any extra money for the rest of your life. But, is it possible?
As long as you are the slightest negligent and someone accuses you that your expenses are not equal to your income, and your expenses are greater than your income, you will be investigated immediately. Even if there is a legitimate source, there will be penalties, ranging from fines to demerits. It's so sad.
Who will dare to collect money in the future? If you take a bribe and don't use it for the rest of your life, and you don't use it for your own children, you won't be caught, and even minor children are within the scope of asset declaration. However, this is still a yarn? I don't dare to use it.
If Li Chen hears their hearts, he will definitely be very proud, relying on this, he can curb corruption to a great extent. In these years, there is nothing to go abroad, let the children go abroad, or have foreign accounts.
Of course, we can't let up because of this, and it is difficult to ensure that they will find a way to prevent it in the future, and this is a long-term struggle against corrupt officials and corrupt officials. He has a good plan, and corrupt officials have a wall ladder. However, he still has anti-clauses in the nest, and when the time comes, it will depend on the officials and businessmen, who can't hold it first, and recruit.
In this way, the vast majority of officials in Datang worked hard to push Datang forward. Although unwilling, the integrity and efficiency of Datang officials have greatly increased. resigned, and I was unwilling, so I could only pinch my nose and admit it, continue to work hard, and do it one day at a time.
However, there are always things that can attract their attention, Li Chen's reform of the official system is not a little bit of a star, Li Chen finally threw out his last idea, and made a complete change to the official system of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chen started the system of six ministries in the three provinces of Datang, greatly revised the current structure of Datang, and officially abolished the system of three provinces and six ministries.
This is just an ordinary day, in the middle of the thirteenth year of Dazhong, after the prime minister went down to the court, he held a meeting in the Ayaqi Hall to discuss a new project, the Datang Stock Trial Law.
This is a brand-new attempt, the prime ministers are very cautious, and officials from various departments have gathered to discuss for a long time, and there is no opening of stock trading at present, and it is currently allowed to raise funds and open a new trading company. In the past, most people did it themselves, otherwise it was a partnership of two or three people.
However, the development of the New World is not a small amount of funds, and naturally it is impossible to make joint ventures by three or two people on their own, as in the past, and there are many people involved, so the prime ministers have come step by step, and the discussion has now come to an end, allowing conditional acquisition, what kind of people can initiate a limited stock trading company, how to ensure the rights and interests of investors, and how to transfer shares, and so on, are about to be promulgated, and there are currently several applications waiting for approval. And Li Chen probably thought that they were almost done, and threw out another issue. And keep them busy.
Li Chen rectified the Tang Dynasty official system, and at the last moment, he threw out an issue, reforming the three provinces and six ministries system, and the Tang Dynasty three provinces and six ministries, which affected China's political system for hundreds of years and is about to enter history.
