Chapter 211: A Person's Transformation (2)
Now is the best time to change the law.
In the past, when the Jin army invaded, the Song army resisted, but only partially. In the north, Hedong, Hebei and other places, they fought so hard that they were bleeding and drifting, but in the south, in Lianghuai, and in the south of the Yangtze River, the people still should eat and drink, the scholars still spent all day drinking, and the peasants still paid grain and taxes.
It can be said that the Jin army attacked the Great Song Dynasty with tenths of its strength, while the Song Dynasty only resisted with one-tenth of its strength.
And now, the continuous war has affected half of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Everywhere the Jin army went, it was either burning, killing and looting, or plundering as slaves, the peasants wanted to farm the land but it was impossible, and the scholars wanted to spend all day drinking and the land was impossible.
At this moment, it gradually changed from a local war of resistance to a national war of resistance.
The Song Dynasty began to use great force to fight back against the invasion of the Jin army. The powerful GDP of the Song Dynasty gradually began to transform into military strength from idle and useless.
The Great Song Dynasty was transformed from a loose farming and idle citizen system to a wartime economic policy, and the huge war machine began to operate, as long as the internal friction was reduced, the policy mistakes were reduced, and the huge strength was enough to easily crush the Jin State, and under the protracted war, it was enough to exhaust the national strength of the Jin State, exhaust the military strength, and finally completely drag the Jin Army down.
However, the premise of everything is internal stability, and only a stable internal can fight a protracted war, drag down the Jin army, and achieve the final victory.
Is it just internally stable?
Zhao Pu shook his head, the civil official group was the biggest obstacle in the Song Dynasty, comparable to the gate valve clan in the Han and Tang dynasties.
In the Han Dynasty, the gate lord clan became a solidified class, forming a huge clan power, Longxi Li, Peixian Liu, Chenjun Xie, Langya Wang, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, Taiyuan Wang, Hongnong Yang, Lanling Xiao, etc., using in-laws, clan power, small is to control a place, large is to control a country. controlled political power, monopolized economic resources, and left limited social opportunities to their descendants, and as a result, the crown prince was elected, and a bunch of grandsons who did not eat fireworks in the world were elected. Great clan politics, family politics, is popular, dividing society into two parts, and most of the people at the bottom will no longer have a chance, and even say that they will regress into the slaves of the big family. As a result, the local power was strong, so that the clan power surpassed the national interests, attracted a lot of flowers, and even led to the warlords in the late Tang Dynasty.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that the local clan forces were completely suppressed and the conditions for separating one side were lost.
The civil politics practiced in the Song Dynasty replaced the gate lord politics, and there were fewer warlords, which provided an opportunity for the bottom to rise, but the disadvantages were also obvious. The civilian clique, most of which are conservatives, will almost certainly fail if they want to rely on the clique to change the law. There is also a civilian clique to suppress the military clique, which will inevitably cause national defense to weaken; The civilian clique is weak and compromised, and it will inevitably be difficult to sustain the war of resistance.
In the era of civilian rule, sealing the wolf is destined to be a dream.
Once the war on the front line has improved, civilian officials will definitely reduce the rights of military generals, or alternate the rights of military generals, and change their methods to engage in internal friction.
If you don't reform the civilian clique, you want the Northern Expedition, you want to regain the lost territory, or is it a dream?
…………
At this time, it was the best time to change the law, and the invasion of the Jin army objectively caused a large number of landlords and gentry to die, or flee, leaving behind a large amount of ownerless land
And he could take advantage of this vacancy to carry out land reform, re-issue the title deeds, and let some landless or small peasants obtain land, so as to gain the support of the peasants, reduce the number of displaced people, and obtain a stable rear. In the right way to curb land annexation, it is enough to create a stable rear.
However, this is also the most dangerous time.
With the southern invasion of the Jin army, a large number of people moved to the south first, which will inevitably cause a shortage of land, if it is not properly distributed, or if the officials are tired, it is enough to cause turmoil; However, a large number of scholars and nobles who moved south will inevitably use various means to forcibly seize the land of the local people and occupy the magpie's nest, and then the conflict between the north and the south will intensify, and all kinds of problems will breed again.
If these problems are not handled well, the southern land will inevitably be full of beacons.
In short, at this moment, if you want to do nothing, if you want to be calm as an emperor, it is destined to be a dream, only by changing at the right time and constantly forging ahead, can you seize the opportunity in the disaster and succeed in one fell swoop.
Time is limited at the moment, there is not much time left to prepare, action is better than heartbeat, speed is better than thinking.
At this moment, if it is a change in the law, there is no talent available at all, which can be described as a person changing the law.
Except for him, the emperor, who has the intention of changing the law, no one is willing to change the law. If he changes the law, there will be many opponents, many wall-riding factions, and few supporters.
However, time is limited, Zhao Puke does not have so much time, and the cultivation of law-changing talents can only be done if there are conditions, and conditions must be created if there are no conditions. Talents who change the law can only be selected from those speculators. It doesn't matter if you speculate, as long as you are useful, as long as you are under control.
In addition, the talent of the law changer can only be co-opted from those old schools. Transform the old school into a law-changing talent.
The only thing that feels fortunate is that he is the emperor.
This is the Song Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's power had long been hollowed out by various local forces, and government decrees could not leave the capital. At this time, it was still the Song Dynasty, and the emperor's power was still supreme, and he had great control over the central and local governments.
…………
And in the continuous temptation and continuous wooing, Zhang Jun finally became the first minister to change the law.
Zhang Jun may not understand the change, his talents may be limited, and he may have such and such shortcomings, but now, there is no good little brother, so he can only make do with it like this, knowing that it is not suitable, and at a critical moment, he can only make do with it.
At this time, Zhao Pu somewhat understood Wang Anshi, why Wang Anshi's younger brothers were all traitors and big villains, didn't Wang Anshi know? It's not that Wang Anshi doesn't know, it's just that no one can choose from it, no one is available, so it can only be used improvised.
This is probably the fundamental reason for the birth of the traitorous party!
Zhang Jun is only the first, and there will be countless more to come.
As the saying goes, fame and fortune are locked, and some scholars may not be tempted by money, but they cannot help but be trapped by fame. As a scholar and a scholar, the so-called integrity and the so-called ethics are just face projects to attract the attention of the emperor. Once the emperor throws out the official position as bait, the scholar may give up his ethics and integrity for the sake of fame.
In this era of supremacy of monarchy, it is often the courtiers who adapt to the king, not the king who adapts to the courtiers, for the sake of high-ranking officials, and for the sake of fame through the ages, those scholars have to succumb to the emperor's obscenity.
Zhang Jun was the first, but not the last.
Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he is the emperor, he has supreme power, and he controls the military power, as long as he is not impatient and does not let go of fatal mistakes, he should have a great chance of success!
This is a top-down reform, hopefully successful!
Suddenly, Zhao Pu thought of Peter the Great.
Historically, when Peter the Great reformed, there was no talent to support it. At that time, Peter the Great reformed, so to speak, the reform of one person. When he reformed, he did not rely on the ministers, the ministers just used them, and they used them when they were convenient; If it is inconvenient, it is discarded. When he reformed, he always took the lead and always rushed to the forefront.
He used barbarism to transform barbaric Russia.
