Chapter 87

PS: Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support!

"Shameless, shameless—"

"Woe to the country and the people. Those who mess with the overall situation in my southwest, Liu and Li are two thieves-"

……

Zhaohua is close to Hanzhong, and what fluctuations have happened in the Hanzhong Prefecture cannot be hidden from Liu Rong at all. In particular, the more than 300,000 Taiping troops entered Sichuan without any twists and turns, proving that Liu Xian did not follow his orders at all, and Liu Rong was staring at Hanzhong with wide eyes.

Therefore, with the establishment of the Aftermath Bureau, what else does Liu Rong not know. He is also an elite from the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Xian and Li Ying turned a deaf ear to the scolding from Zhaohua. Both of them are considered to be big players in Shaanxi, especially in the situation of such a war situation in southern Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi, they are not dispensable sesame petty officials, no matter how angry Liu Rong is, he can't immediately remove them from their official positions except for writing to Beijing. Not to mention beheading Liu Li.

The sword of Shang Fang in the play, in reality, can kill the general soldier and the prefect's royal flag, and the Qing court will not give it to a certain governor casually.

When the Taiping army left Hanzhong, Liu Xian and Li Ying buried themselves in cleaning up the 'aftermath'.

In all the states and counties, except for Feng County, Quanzhi County, where the prime minister is in a place, are all Li Ying's people, and they are all sent by the Aftermath Bureau. Jinshan Yinhai, that's a strong flow to Liu Li League's house.

Of course, Liu Xian and Li Ying were all people who knew the virtues of the public servants, and while they were wildly clinging to the land and property, they 'strictly' demanded that their subordinates must 'work according to law'.

You can take a little advantage, but you must not go too far -- forcing the people to rebel again when they are cornered.

Li Ying, who was 'woken up' by Liu Xian, was very concerned about this. Liu Xian's 'concern' was only because he was extremely distrustful of the bureaucrats of the late Qing Dynasty, and firmly believed in the wise saying that 'those who are officials are greedy', but Li Ying knew that what was going on in Hanzhong Mansion was not the only one in the world. The difference is only in the different names, and people don't call it the aftermath bureau.

As a person with a very lively brain, he is very good at learning the lessons of others. Li Ying thought about the matter in detail, and when he made up his mind to make a deal, he decided to pay close attention to the aftermath today.

Just because I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run. In the two or three years that he was an official, although he had not dealt with such a matter, he learned in correspondence with his friends that when many places in the south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains were dealing with the 'aftermath' after the war, the prefectural and county officials colluded with the local inferior gentry to confiscate all the abandoned fields in the four townships into the officials, and they were called "out of production." The inferior gentry and the servants who went out to visit and investigate, and then extorted the householders of the landlords, etc., were allocated a certain amount of land, that is, they were concealed and not reported, and were not confiscated; If it is not distributed, that is, "relatives" are also referred to as "impersonation" and reported for confiscation. I don't know how many people lost all their family property because of it, and how many gentry and servants got hundreds of acres of property out of thin air.

In those places, all the fertile fields were cultivated by the inferior gentry and the servants, but they were secretly destroyed and turned into barren land.

In some places, hundreds of thousands of acres of land have been acquired in just one place. All those who flee back, i.e., those who are siblings and nephews, are not allowed to take it. falsely accused the widow of being "a thief and being defiled", and forced her to remarry and keep her property private; Orphans are referred to as "unemployed, unemployed". and to the field which the Lord has brought back is less than a tenth.

So that there are not a few people who gather to make trouble. The land of abundance is still withering after the war.

Liu Xian and Li Ying have already offended Liu Rong fiercely, so naturally they have touched the behemoth of the Xiang Army. However, the Hunan army is too big, and the root cause of this matter is also Liu Rong's own mistake, so as not to let Liu and Li provoke the absolute hostility and attention of the Hunan army.

But if there is turmoil in Hanzhong under people's noses, it is to take the initiative to hand the knife to others to control.

Liu Xian offended the Hunan army for the sake of immediate interests, whether it is for the present or for a long time, it is a smart choice that can hardly be said to be a smart choice. And that's what he did! The scene by the Dadu River is always remembered in Liu Xian's heart......

As for Li Ying, this standard old-style bureaucrat, why he also did this, then there is another mystery that Liu Xian can't detect at this moment.

In short: Liu Xian is 'simple', Li Ying is 'complex'.

Now Liu Xianzhi and Li Ying, just know that in the face of 'money and interests', Li Ying did not hesitate to stand on his side and chose to offend Liu Rong and Xiangjun!

While carrying out 'work' with the Aftermath Bureau, the Liu-Li Alliance then sacrificed a golden magic weapon in Hanzhong - the public office. In order to appease the vast number of gentry and local tyrants who are hungry.

Public office? What is a public office?

Peer trade or township organizations, in addition to being called guild halls, are also known as public offices. Such as the cloth industry office. Liu Xian used this name and replaced it with a local council.

The Ming and Qing dynasties did not go to the countryside, and the power of the rural clans and gentry was great. And now that the real power is already there, why not give a 'name' and give guidance, isn't it just a living local self-government council?

At present, the county officials of Hanzhong Hefu were killed 7788, except for the magistrates of Fengxian, Nanzheng, and Chenggu, the rest are all agents. It's a great opportunity to do this.

To be honest, Liu Xian looks down on the two-party and multi-party systems in the West, and also scorns the parliament, probably because he grew up under the red flag. Great Celestial Empire**.

But now he stands at the point of history, even if he can't dominate the overall situation of China, but he believes that this day will eventually come. So, how will he govern this big country when the time comes?

Dynasty? Imperial? Centralization?

The times have not allowed it anymore. Although Liu Xian himself is like this in his own heart. But he understands that the tide of history is irreversible. The heyday of the capital system has come!

No one will be satisfied with their life without any political status after they have possessed extreme power. And if China wants to rejuvenate, the bourgeoisie is a beast, Liu Xian must release it from the cage with his own hands.

This is an irreconcilable paradox. Liu Xian could only compromise.

The system in his heart is **.

If the farce of Wanwan were to be extended to the whole country, what an uncontrollable scene it would be.

And Wanwana is still under the threat of the shadow of the mainland!

If China is revived, like a behemoth towering in the east of the world, no one can shake it. Will the two internal factions of the party and government really be as 'civilized' as Europe and the United States? Besides, in such a 'civilized' European and American society, isn't the United States also fighting the Civil War now?

Don't really regard the American Civil War as a war of liberation against black slaves, the essence of which is the conflict of interests between the two economic circles of the North and the South.

Therefore, the use of force to start a war is not a joke, all rights belong to the political party, and how can the army be completely independent of the political party?

Hypocrisy, there is no pressure from the head, there is no external pressure, with the 'poison' and urine of traditional Chinese culture, it is really possible to fight.

The party's unity and differentiation have always been the most concrete embodiment of China's party struggle.

In the face of his most direct opponent, in traditional Chinese culture, there has never been: you cut off a corner, I pull out a thorn, hello I am good, everyone is good.

In later generations, there were many reasons why China could not follow the multi-party democratic system of Europe and the United States. In addition to some generalized remarks, one reason that gives Liu Xian the highest sense of identity is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. [The family's opinion, stop here]

But it's not right to pass it without even giving it a chance. Liu Xian is not a politician, and he has no idea about governing the country. He needs to quietly observe first to see what the autonomy of the local township in Hanzhong will slowly develop into under the current situation!

Even if the multi-party system is finally denied and the ** system is adopted, then the 'congress' system under the ** must be implemented in earnest. Isn't the public office also a kind of rehearsal of 'representation'?

As soon as this magic weapon comes out, it will quickly gather the support of all the gentry and tyrants. Calm down all the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
