Section 1397 Establishing rules

Liu Che was also full of emotion, and he was slightly proud in his heart.
After carefully calculating his political achievements, Liu Che found that he did a good job.
Just like the establishment of the Central Gantang University, basically, it cut off the ability of local tycoons to interfere in local officialdom.
Basically, from now on, there will only be interest groups left in the Han family's political arena, and it is unlikely that there will be local hills.
The reason is simple.
The gatekeeper politics in later generations was caused by the local tycoons mastering the recommendation of officials and monopolizing knowledge.
Both are indispensable.
But nowadays, knowledge is no longer monopolized by private individuals, and this official no longer needs the recommendation of the local nobles and good gentry.
Gate valve politics, before it was born, it was stillborn.
Of course, this is only a minor change.
It takes time to build up, measured in decades, to see its benefits.
But there is another policy that is already showing great power.
This is ocean shipping.
Since the beginning of the resettlement policy, the Han dynasty opened up the shipping route from Qilu to Andong and North Korea.
From then on, people and goods from the south could be transferred to the north and Andong by ship.
Originally, only ships of the building ship ran on this route.
Gradually, the number of civilian ships began to increase.
Not long ago, the swallow thistle war was like a catalyst, which doubled the number of civilian ships running this route in a few months!
Even now, the swallow thistle war is over, but the number of cargo ships running this route has not decreased, and the scale of dozens of them still remains every day.
This made Liu Che really pleased.
In later history, the development of the Jiangnan region accelerated because of the excavation of the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
And now, the smooth passage of the sea has made this historical process faintly have some beginnings.
Although the current ocean shipping is far from comparable to the terrible logistics capacity of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal.
But......
There is a limit to the capacity of the canal, but the capacity of the ocean is endless.
When the technology develops in the future, it is likely that the combined cargo throughput of the Han Dynasty in a year is less than the carrying capacity of a giant ship in the future.
And that's something that canals can't do.
Thinking of these things, the car had already entered the school field inside Gantang.
Here, thousands of officials, teachers and students inside Gantang have already been waiting in line.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"
Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and Imperial Doctor Chao Cuo, respectively, wore crowns representing sacrificial wine, and led the teachers and students to bow three times and bow nine times.
Liu Che raised his feet and stepped off the car, looked at the crowd in the square, cleared his throat, and said, "The Qing and others are exempt from courtesy......
"Although I am the son of heaven, I am also the chief of Gantang Mountain, and the teacher of Qing and others......" With a slight smile, Liu Che said slowly.
At present, among the three highest-level schools in the Han Empire, Liu Che attaches the most importance to this Gantang.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to take the respect of the Son of Heaven and concurrently serve as the head of this Gantang Mountain.
It's really because he knows very well the importance of Gantang, because everyone who walks out of this place will face tens of thousands of people.
The quality of their governance affects millions of people.
When Gantang's students and officials heard this, they were all excited and said: "Your Majesty's grace, the ministers can only die to repay it!" β
The emperor's disciple, the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.
Even if it is just an honorary nature, it is a great honor, a supreme honor!
What's more, it's not fake.
Among the Gantang students, the particularly outstanding students may be recommended to Shangshuling to be a Shangshu for a year.
And after a year's experience, it is at least a county's order to be released.
The highest, someone even directly served as the superintendent of a certain county.
As the head of Gantang Mountain, Liu Che is now quite satisfied.
Under the guidance of Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo, he climbed the high platform that had been built.
Just by looking at it a little, Liu Che found that on both sides of the school grounds, there were countless familiar figures.
Obviously, today, almost all the relatives of the princes in Chang'an have come here.
Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Liu Che didn't care, and then he looked at the school field.
At this time, there were more than 20 local county guards and county lieutenants of 2,000 stones, more than 300 county lieutenants of the metropolitan post, chief officer, and county commander, and more than 200 officials of each department.
It can almost be said that the essence of the bureaucratic system of the Han Empire is gathered here.
Therefore, the Jiuqing in the court broke their heads and wanted to come to Gantang to teach.
Because this is the center of the whirlpool of power struggles in the future.
Clearing his throat, Liu Che looked at these elite bureaucrats of the Han family, and said: "Since I am a teacher of the secretary of the school, I should be the homework of the secretary of the school......
In later generations, there were emperors who personally lectured and listened to the scriptures, and were regarded as a model for the prosperity of culture and education and the Ming monarch.
Liu Che thought otherwise.
Because, whether it is talking about "Spring and Autumn" or "Shangshu", in the final analysis, it is about history and the past.
Confucianism also dressed them up.
It is tinged with idealism and morality.
But these have a dime to do with government affairs, the world and the people?
Negative hearts are all readers.
No matter how well you learn "Spring and Autumn", no matter how much you read "Shangshu", can you increase production and income? Can you have more children?
Therefore, Liu Che has long wanted to change this tradition before snatching others.
So, Liu Che glanced casually at the venue, and then saw a middle-aged official kneeling beside Zhang Tang.
Judging from his clothing, this person should only be a petty official between 400 and 600 stones, and he is also a little older, looking at least forty years old!
However, since he can sit next to Zhang Tang, it means that Zhang Tang is also optimistic, at least appreciating him.
"Aiqing on the right side of Zhang Qing, please stand up and ......," Liu Chelang called by name.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When the eyes of the audience were focused on him, Zhu Maichen was still a little at a loss.
He couldn't even believe his ears.
However, the look of the Son of Heaven's ardent expectation, as well as the envious, jealous and hateful looks of his colleagues around him, let him know that the Son of Heaven was indeed naming him.
This made Zhu Maichen really flattered!
Six years ago, he had just experienced the greatest tragedy of his life!
His wife asked to be divorced from him.
The reason is simple - he is poor and likes to show that he is a reader.
This made his wife can't stand the eyes of others!
After the separation, Zhu Maichen thought about it at home for a long time, and finally realized a truth - a husband can't be without power for a day!
So, he chose to make a desperate bet and came to Chang'an to seek his own future.
And now, Zhu Maichen knows that he is facing the biggest test of his life.
passed, from now on Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and the road to Qingyun has no end.
If not, all dreams and ambitions will be lost.
"Junior Minister Zhu Maichen, bow to Your Majesty again......" Zhu Maichen walked into the field, chanted loudly, and bowed to the court.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Zhu Maichen ???" Liu Che muttered, then looked at Zhang Tang, and smiled in his heart: "Interesting, interesting, so interesting!" β
You must know that in history, Zhu Maichen and Zhang Tang are mortal enemies!
In order to kill Zhang Tang, Zhu Maichen even did not hesitate to give false testimony.
Then, Zhang Tang made a big move on his deathbed, and he was also sent to hell and went on the road together.
And the reason why Zhu Maichen and Zhang Tang have enmity is because Zhu Maichen thinks that 'my brother became an official earlier than you, and he started his official position earlier than you. βγ
But now, I'm afraid that Zhu Maichen will no longer be able to use this reason to hate Zhang Tang.
Even, most likely, he can only be Zhang Tang's younger brother.
Thinking like this, Liu Che asked, "What position did Zhu Aiqing hold before?" β
"Your Majesty will not give up, and since the third year of Yuande, the minister has been serving as a member of the Tunken Reclamation Regiment of the Jianmen Army in the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, and has successively served as an adjutant, a master Bo, a captain of the Tunken Regiment, and a lieutenant...... Lai Your Majesty Hongfu, the matter of reclamation, there are some achievements, for the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, this time to Beijing for training......" Zhu Maichen introduced himself.
And his words immediately made countless people despise in their hearts.
Commanders and officials of the Reclamation Regiment?
Everyone knows that in order to let people go to Anton, the imperial court almost cheated and abducted people, and did everything they could.
As long as he is an official and is willing to sign up and serve for five years, he can become an official of Qianshi.
But back then, the real elite disdained it.
The true aristocracy would not have gone to the poor mountains and remote places that people had the impression of not pulling a dime a dozen at that time.
Therefore, everyone can almost be sure that this Zhu Maichen must be a three-no official with no background, no backers, and no money.
Such a person, unless a miracle happens, this life will be the end of a county order.
But Liu Che was interested.
"The Thorn Gate Army's Reclamation Regiment?" He smiled slightly, and some data automatically recalled in his mind.
At the beginning, Andong emigrated, and various units of the Han army opened up their territory on the map of the Andong area, enclosing patches of land as the garrison of the reclamation regiment.
The reclamation regiment of the Thorn Gate Army was about 500 miles north of Xinhua City, and the total number of immigrants and officials who initially migrated there was more than 3,520 people.
Over the years, about 5,000 immigrants have been accepted one after another.
Today, more than three years later, the location of this reclamation regiment has become a land of fish and rice in the north.
The imperial historians who went to investigate and collect wind reported that (the Tun Reclamation Regiment of the Thorn Gate Army) has the style of the southern country, with prosperous rice and many ditches, which can almost compete with Guangling.
As for the local people, they are rich and secure, and they like to use fish as soup.
Even the armaments are very good -- in the arsenal, there are bows and crossbows and armor, and although they have been sealed for a long time, the bowstrings can still shoot tigers and kill leopards.
All in all, this is a reclamation regiment that can be regarded as excellent governance even among the many reclamation regiments in Anton.
This made Liu Che interested.
The Andong region and North Korea, which he has never seen with his own eyes since he was defeated.
It is only that the prime minister and the imperial historian are entrusted to send officials to inspect every year, or to learn about the local situation through the report of the embroidered guard.
However, there has never been a specific face-to-face communication with a local grassroots bureaucrat from Anton.
Thinking of this, Liu Che asked: "Qing is the official of the Thorn Gate Army, so I asked Qing: Up and down the reclamation regiment, how many households are there?" Arita geometry? Is there a geometry of animals? How much does the treasury have in savings? β
As soon as this question came up, the faces of many bureaucrats immediately changed.
Officials and gentlemen, in addition to counting every year on weekdays, how many people will memorize and calculate the basic data under their own rule?
Especially those nobles and noble scholars, everyone is in danger.
However, the bureaucrats from the Legalists and Huang Laopai were full of confidence.
Because this back data is their daily routine.
"Your Majesty, so far, there are 2,732 households in the Thorn Gate Army's Reclamation Regiment, with 11,121 mouths, of which 5,823 are males and 3,175 are the first masters!"
"There are 200,000 acres of land, 352 waterwheels have been erected, and seven ditches have been dug, with a total length of 321 miles......"
"There were three hundred and twenty-five oxen, two hundred and seventeen horses, and dozens of mules and horses......
"In the treasury, there are eight granaries, with a total of more than 173,000 stones of grain and rice and more than 400 stones of dried fish...... In addition, the Reclamation Regiment has three arsenals, which contain 1,325 long knives, more than 800 swords, more than 1,000 spears, 312 sets of armor, 200 longbows, more than 400 crossbow machines, and 150,000 arrows, of which 50,000 are allocated by the Protectorate, and the rest are all self-made ...... of the Reclamation Regiment."
Listening to the strings of data in Zhu Maichen's mouth, let alone Liu Che.
Everyone else looked at him dumbfounded.
Everyone asked themselves, even if they knew in advance that the Son of Heaven might ask this question, but I am afraid that in a hurry, they would not be able to answer in such detail.
Liu Che glanced to his side, and Ji Di, who was standing beside him, bowed slightly.
Liu Che immediately knew that the data answered by Zhu Maichen was very accurate.
"Good!" Liu Che stroked his palm and praised: "As an official, serving in one place, like Zhu Qing, he will govern large and small affairs, and be proficient in his heart. If the phoenix bird doesn't come, the river doesn't come out of the map? β
At the beginning, Confucius lamented in his later years: The phoenix bird does not come, the river does not come out, and I am already a husband.
And Confucius's lament is not only relatable to Confucians.
Legalists, Mohists, Huang Laopai and even miscellaneous families, who is not?
In traditional Chinese culture, to Jun Yao Shun, to Qi three generations, let God bless, the river out of the map, the phoenix Ming Qi Mountain, is always the biggest goal and pursuit.
However, after Zhou Gong, it seems that the holy way has been extinct.
Whether it is Confucius, Mencius, Lao Tzu or Yin Wenzi, Shang Jun or Han Feizi, no one can move the heavens, let the phoenix bird appear, and the dragon and horse gossip out of the river.
Therefore, the sigh of Confucius made all the sons of the hundred schools of thought feel related.
Now, as soon as Liu Che said this, he immediately made the ministers in the audience feel the same way, and even the onlookers knelt down and bowed: "The ministers are willing to assist Your Majesty ......."
As for the three generations of Yao Shun, this is not something that the courtiers can say, at least not on this occasion.
