In fact, on the day when Deng Ji announced everything, it was impossible to discuss anything else, just like Tian Feng, Jia Xu and others did when they first heard about it.

It is not easy for people in this era to fully accept and understand these things, because they are too unbelievable.

Under the rule of Deng Ji, it has always been unusual, and unlike the princes in the world, the policy of the fourth-class people makes many people feel out of place, and this time it is a earth-shaking change, and the impact is naturally greater.

Of course, most people instantly thought of the advantages -- the monarch gave power to his subordinates and the people, and those who had the slightest knowledge immediately thought of the phrase "In ancient times, the world was for the public."

This is something that only the ancient saints have done, so for this lord who felt that he was full of shortcomings before, everyone was surprised by his determination and admired his selflessness.

In the meeting hall on the ninth day of the first month of February, looking at the recorded words, thinking about these, Sizhou Wenwu only had shock and excitement left in his mind, everyone was in a stirring mood, and he couldn't calm down at all, and he couldn't discuss normally at all.

Not to mention the people at the bottom, it is undoubtedly a matter of heavy responsibility and a long way to go to implement the various decentralization systems mentioned by Deng Ji under the existing conditions, and it is by no means an overnight task.

The change of thinking, the perfection of the system, the material foundation, all of this is still only on paper.

Deng Ji didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to make the position he was sitting in now look not so good, to make it less attractive, and he didn't want children, civil and military people to intrigue around this like moths to the fire. Internal friction depletes strength.

Anyway. He was only twenty-nine years old. There is still time.

In the conference hall that day, Zhong Xuan and Xun Chen, who were full of taste, watched quietly for a while, and then asked Deng Ji to resign, and left Luoyang early the next morning.

On the same day, Deng Ji invited Zhang Wei and Yan Pu to come out, and the two of them had come to defect and readily agreed.

The 10th day of the first month. Yang Li returned home and committed suicide by hanging hemp rope at home.

Yang Li committed suicide, General Wei's Mansion continued to deliberate, and Hanoi Taishou Jia Kui, who had been thinking for a night, spoke: "The system of the lord has not been heard of for hundreds of years, and it should be recorded in the history of Qingxi!" His Majesty's admiration is unspeakable, but there is also a concern, to be established as a great yuan, the two positions of governor and cabinet minister are divided into the first of civil and military, and they are extreme. If you have merit again, what reward should you get? ”

Deng Ji, Tian Feng and others were also stunned. What Jia Kui said is very reasonable, Wenchen is better, in this troubled era, it is very easy for military generals to make meritorious contributions, and the governor is already a first-class position, and no matter how much he accumulates military exploits, he will be rewarded.

Even the wise can make mistakes.

During the previous deliberations, Tian Feng, Jia Xu and others only discussed with Deng Ji in excitement that the governor should be selected by the township old people's house, and he would be ordered by the cabinet, and the generals under him would be appointed by the cabinet, and the lieutenants would be appointed by the military department.

Jia Kuizhi was extremely worried, even the current governors, everyone carefully discussed this issue, and after thinking for a while, Deng Ji hesitated before speaking: "There will be a merit hall in the township old people's courtyard, and those who have special honors will be approved by the cabinet, and they can enter the honor hall and be a villager for life, how about it?" ”

The township elders are not official positions, and they are only changed every three years. Deng Ji means that people with high merit do not need to run for election, and serve as a township elder for life, giving a sense of honor, even counting the counties outside Bishui Pass, there are one hundred and five counties in Sizhou alone, compared to the formal township elders, the number of Xunrongtang is small, one person and one vote.

However, the meritorious people also have a great influence, and their decisions will definitely have an impact on the villagers.

Zhang Yi didn't think about that, he just felt that it was not enough, and asked: "I'm afraid this is not enough, can I confer a knighthood with merit?" ”

"Knighthood?" Deng Ji thought about it, there were pros and cons, and he vetoed half of it first: "No matter whether it is a different surname or the same surname, Dayuan will never be crowned king and duke!" As for Hou ......"

Deng Ji groaned, a little difficult to decide, Xu Shu continued: "Hou or can be sealed!" This is only a privilege, no fiefdom, and can be divided into several levels. ”

Tian Feng, Jia Xu, and Tian Chou approved with their heads, and Deng Ji said: "In this case, Dayuan only sets up a marquis, in my opinion, the marquis should also be feuded less, and the children of the royal family are not allowed to be marquis!" or can be divided into three classes, the last rank of the Hou soldiers beheaded more than 100 demerits; second-class marquis and above civil officials with outstanding political achievements; How about awarding it to those who have made special contributions above the first-class Hou Biao general? ”

This is to put the position of the military general completely above the civil officials, but Deng Ji has a tradition of attaching importance to the martial arts, and has long been criticized by the scholars, and now he himself has made such a big sacrifice, and the civil officials can reluctantly accept it, but Tian Feng said: "This is not enough!" Under the rule of today's craftsmen and businessmen, they can also be credited to the people, and they can't only focus on military exploits! Hou is divided into three classes, craftsmen, merchants and soldiers should also be the same as the soldiers, can be given the third class marquis, the soldiers because of the beheading of the marquis, can be collectively named the tiger marquis, the craftsman gives the marquis, the merchant gives the city marquis, the rest of the second-class marquis, the first class marquis, all should be given another hall number by the monarch, after the death of the land Xu Litang Temple, for future generations to see. ”

Reminded by Tian Feng's words, Deng Ji suddenly got inspiration again: "Ben Hou, Qiao Hou, and City Marquis can also make the stone statues of the county officials where they are located, so that the people can see them; The other second-class Wenhou and the first-class Wuhou can stand as stone statues in Sankun Mountain; For example, Hao Meng, Jiao Touch, and Ma Chao are rebellious, and they kneel like at the foot of Sankun Mountain! Let those who stand be honored, and those who kneel are spurned! How is it? ”

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Pang De and Yang Qiu each broke out in a cold sweat -- they were almost made into kneeling statues.

After discussing many details for a long time, Wudu Taishou Shi Tao asked: "The monarch, the cabinet, the governor, and the superintendent are all elected by the township elders' house, and their power is too great?" If there are dissident people, they have to control the township old home, and they are afraid of losing the country! ”

Deng Jidao: "This is the responsibility of the Supervision Yuan and the Taiping, the township elders enter Beijing, and they are ordered to live in several places, and the prince and the civil and military have secret communication with the township elders, after investigation, both sides are illegal, and they will be handed over to the Criminal Department according to the law!" ”

Speaking of this, Jia Xu also said: "Those who enter the Hall of Honor and Honor should not secretly communicate with the villagers." ”

It took more than ten days to end this discussion, the people in the excitement did not feel tired, and discussed the initial personnel choices.

――――

After sending Xun Chen to Luoyang, Yuan Benchu had secretly ordered his subordinates to gather troops and prepare to go south to attack Cao Cao.

In the winter, Benchu sent messengers constantly, using the Nine Grades Law to stabilize people's hearts, and Benchu himself ignored military affairs due to the illness of his young son, and many Yanzhou civil and military officials have secretly reported the receipt of letters to Cao Cao.

No matter who came to sue, Cao Cao ordered a reply to Hebei, so as to confuse the original. Sizhou can no longer be tried for the time being, and the army without water cannot move Sun Ce's foundation, and now Cao Cao's eyes are also staring at Hebei, thinking of swallowing the strong with weakness, and he is waiting for the original army to come.

Last year, he didn't win the three ways to fight Deng Ji, and he knew that his own power was difficult to defeat Sizhou now, and he gave up the state to Pang Zhen. But instead of taking advantage of Cao Cao's new defeat, he prepared for him for such a long time, I was afraid that there was little chance of winning with troops again, so he persuaded Yuan Shaodao: "I heard that Mengde has collected the army of Beihai for use, and he has come out of the Nine Grades Law to envelop the family, and the momentum is revived, I am afraid that it is impossible to take it lightly!" It is better for the public to send envoys again and apply for an alliance with Meng De again. Sun Ce took Huainan, the momentum reached Jiangbei, Cao Cao was difficult to settle, and sooner or later he would fight. The lord cultivates virtue and politics in the government, and also implements good laws to recruit heroes, retires from the army and recuperates the people, and waits for the situation to move again! ”

Yuan Shao shook his head: "Although Cao Cao and I have not broken the alliance, but the method of nine products is leaked from the Hebei family, and the same is true for the Yuan family!" How much is there in the world like my Yuan clan? Cao Mengde is so insulted, his heart has really regarded me as a great enemy! If you don't ask for it now, it will be even more difficult to take it after a long time! ”

The four great families of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Fufeng Dou family and the Nanyang Deng family have declined, needless to say, the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family are the behemoths of the world, Cao Cao only took Yang Biao as the third prince of the court, and gave the Yang family as a family under the pretense of the name of the Son of Heaven, and the rest of the Cao family, Xiahou family, Xun family, etc., were tied, but the Runan Yuan family was omitted, and the original was naturally annoyed.

The trial spoke: "Or can you send an envoy to join the Sun clan and take Yanyu Xu together?" ”

Guo Tu interjected on the side: "Sun Shiyuan is far away, it takes a lot of time to connect, and his soldiers are outnumbered, and the new Huainan may be satisfied, and he is powerless to help." The lord's prestige is widely spread, the messenger goes south, and Meng De's ministers and generals have no one who dares to do so, so it can be seen that the people's hearts have been lost, how can the Nine Grades Law be meritorious? The soldiers of Beihai County voted to Yanzhou because of Kong Rong, and the initial attachment was not enough, and the rest of the newly recruited army was even more embarrassing, so Sun Ce took Huainan lightly, and Cao Cao did not dare to fight! With such an enemy, what does the lord worry about? Just take advantage of the time, if you hear that the army is going south, and the Quartet righteous division will be attached, the Cao army should be in chaos without a fight! ”

The trial was angry and Guo Tu's slanderous words were flattering, and Yuan Shao persuaded a few words before he had to stop.

Xun Chen returned to Yecheng and told what he had seen and heard in Luoyang, Yuan Shao was shocked for a long time, and it was just hard to believe.

When Xun Chen's life guarantee was true, he scolded angrily: "National thief! Traitor! The worst of evil! If you don't get rid of it, how can you tell the community? ”

At this time, Yuan Shao hated Deng Muan even more, didn't this person lose his heart and go crazy? Let the power be like a sage, and the rest of the princes can't learn from him so generous, and his selfishness is vividly revealed, shouldn't he be ridiculed by the world?

The judge, frustrated, and Guo Tu were also shocked for a long time, and the judge said: "Lord, this matter stops in the account, and the system of Sizhou must not be leaked, just publicize the fact that Deng Ji rebelled against the Han and proclaimed himself emperor!" ”

The people in non-Sizhou will only listen to the news of Deng Ji's proclamation as emperor, and as for what system to implement, those who have knowledge may be concerned about one or two.

Hearing the words of the trial, Yuan Shao immediately understood, and it was really strictly forbidden for the subordinate Wu to leak this news.

Guo Tu said again: "Lord, although Deng Muan is not allowed to get married, but if he wants to establish a country, he should first seek internal stability, and he can no longer use military affairs, and now he can cut Cao!" ”

Yuan Shao thought so.

(Regarding the system, it should be said that everyone has different opinions, but there is no perfect system in the world, and the tiger has limited pen power, lack imagination, and has many loopholes.) ）

(Another crazy request for a recommendation ticket, the tiger is broken for a longer time, the monthly pass is not as good as a person, and the recommended ticket asks for a position.) (To be continued.) )
