Section 609 Feudal
According to the "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Interpretation. "Prudence" contains: "Feudal, that is, feudal statehood, ancient emperors gave titles and land to relatives or meritorious heroes, so that they could establish states in each region, that is, feudal relatives to feudal Ping Zhou. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor was the beginning of feudalism and the beginning of the Zhou system. A similar system was practiced in the Middle Ages in Europe.
It can be said that the feudal system was a kind of regression for the Chinese Empire.
On this feudal theory, Wenhua Hall has been discussing for a long time.
The Mandarin Hall is ready to draw a circle. Outside the circle, there can be fiefs, and within the circle must be directly under the imperial court.
When Yu Qian cleaned up the widows, the white crane also arrived at the Wenhua Palace.
"Bai Minghe, you have been in good health lately, and you look stronger." Mao Sheng greeted him with a smile.
"Mao Shangshu said yes, I've been practicing recently, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't want to say Huamei, I'm not even a white fox. This is too faceless, Wang Cheng taught me a little, and also learned some from Hua Wuji, but it didn't work, the white fox really started to move, and I just put it down. β
Mao Sheng laughed heartily after hearing this, and then lowered his voice and said: "To tell the truth, the sword skills of the Shagara Dragon King are truly inherited, and if you really kill people on the battlefield, you can live with the masters of the Forbidden Palace with ten moves and eight moves, which is a family tradition." I can't beat it either. β
"Seriously."
"I haven't fought, but someone in Nanjing Sailor has fought with her, and I am thinking about replacing me, but it can't work."
Bai Minghe didn't dare to think that Hua Mei was so powerful.
After gossiping like this, Shang Shi got up and motioned for Bai Minghe to stand in front, and it was time to talk about business.
"With the first island chain as the line, this is the big reason. Next, the focus is on the annexation of Wajima. Or divide it first and then annex it. The advantage of dividing the seal first is that the Japanese people will not have too many ideas. But the disadvantage is even greater, if you don't want to let it out after decades, you can't make up a crime for murder. β
Wang Wen spoke first, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the point.
"Swallow it directly, swallow it slowly." Shang Zhen is also afraid of trouble in a few decades.
More ministers are willing to take it outright. If the troubles in the future are left now, no one wants to carry this notoriety.
"Then, the hardest thing is Nanyang." Wang Wen turned the map around.
That's right, the most difficult thing is Nanyang, if it is divided here, then to whom, it is impossible to give it all to Siam and other countries at this time, at least half of it will still be left, especially in Java. The natural granary can be said to be basically reserved for yourself. So how to divide it.
"I have an idea!" Shira-naka spoke up.
"Tell me about it!"
"Let's not talk about the separation, let's talk about another thing. That's ......" Bai Minghe took out a copy of Wen JiΓ n from his sleeve, then stood up and handed it to Chen Xun with both hands.
Shira-naka didn't say what it was, just silently waited for the result.
Chen Xun looked at it, didn't speak, and turned around to give Shang Yuan.
As a result, Shang Zhen read it and didn't say a word. Passed down in turn, one by one. Until everyone saw it, but not a single person spoke, not a word was spoken.
When everyone saw it, Bai Minghe spoke: "There are two versions of this, one is that those who shed blood and work hard for China must have enough rewards." The second statement is. I am reluctant to come up with something, so I want people to work hard for us to keep China and all the wealth? β
"Reasonable!" Chen Xun said two words slowly.
"That's support?" Bai Minghe asked.
"Reasonable, very reasonable. But if you want our support. Unless you have more reasons. The cost of your soldier's pension system is huge, how do you let hundreds of officials look at it, and how can so many officials be old. You must know that the total number of officials in China is also hundreds of thousands. β
"Raise, why not. Those who are willing to work for China all their lives will provide for them. However, the pension of the sergeant must be implemented, otherwise someone will go to the battlefield desperately. β
Shirana Crane insisted on his idea.
The ministers present did not object, but no one supported it either.
"There can be two kinds of pension, one is to pay every year, and the other is to set aside a pension fief."
"Okay, I'm rooted." Mao Sheng suddenly slapped the table hard, and pointed at Bai Minghe with a big finger: "Xiaobai, you are really the most treacherous person, your reputation has been earned, and the trouble has been solved." I'm sticking with you. β
Mao Sheng finished yelling at Bai Minghe, and said to the others in the Wenhua Palace: "Divide the territory of Nanyang to give the soldiers a pension fief. But it cannot be said that it is for the soldier's own, and he will look for it according to the guard. Each guard has a piece, according to the total value of the guard's merits, plus the number of veterans, they are assigned land, and the part of their income tax Lao Tzu does not care, but the income is left to them to live a prosperous life. β
"Taxes, which can be considered for reduction. Agricultural exemption, labor reduction! Trade tax is collected, and if the goods are given to a government-run merchant, then all taxes can be exempted. Zhang Feng, the head of the household, gave a conclusion.
"Well, if that's the case. The veterans have their own homes, their own income, and whoever dares to touch them, they dare to fight hard. In a little time, our regular army will be able to kill them, and whoever moves will destroy them. The veterans got the practical benefits, and we got the defense circle of the South Seas. β
Mao Sheng explained.
The details naturally need to be planned by the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Soldiers, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites.
"Then, let's publish it!" The white crane was reluctant to publish the ordinance immediately.
Chen Xun stood up and took Bai Minghe's copy of the text: "You can send it, but you don't even have a formal transcript of Lord Bai?" β
"Nope!" Bai Minghe told the truth, and he really didn't prepare a script.
Chen Xun handed the document to Shang Chen, who took it: "Then I'll ghostwrite." However, there are a few points to be explained in advance, this title is still subject to the constraints of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the division of land, and the Ministry of War is only responsible for calculating the merits of each legion, and then the Ministry of Rites does not care about the subdivisions. β
"Good!" Mao Sheng agreed, and he also understood that this was distributing rights.
"Although it is said that there is no tax, it is just that it does not collect people, mu of income, and income. However, port taxes and large-value trade taxes must be collected. Otherwise, it will mess up the market, so this article should be added to the book. β
The household department also expressed it, and the officials also had something to say: "This, does the fief belong to the military or the people?" β
A wonderful question.
"Military Commander!" Mao Sheng slapped the table.
"No, it must be managed by the people. You must know that this is a reward, not a guard. If the military is in charge, then will the military registration still be there in the future? Only the people are in charge, and the civil affairs send the court's care for the veterans. This is the way of etiquette. "Even Yang Ning came out to support, Mao Sheng can't speak alone to withstand so many people.
Seek common ground while reserving small differences. Solve the big problems first, and then slowly solve the small problems that have contradictions.
Shang Chen wrote a notebook, and put down the item of civilian management or military management, and the specific details naturally need to be discussed by six departments.
Mao Sheng was a little unconvinced, and arranged for someone to go to Yu Qian, hoping to get Yu Qian's support.
When the Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu's imperial approval returned, Yu Qian's reply also arrived.
"Yu Taishi supports civil management!" Yang Ning also admired Yu Qian in his heart, and when he reached this status, he put national affairs first. Favors, face, factions and the like are no longer involved, and he is dedicated to the public.
The next day, when the Oda family left with their exchange of fiefdom papers, the front page of the newspapers in Shikyo except Tokyo made a clear statement.
...... for the Chinese bloodshed, the imperial court will provide for the elderly!
Although there are no detailed details, it is also clear that anyone who has military merits, whether it is fighting to protect the homeland, or fighting for foreign wars, only those who have shed blood, have military merits, and those who survive will be taken care of by the court immediately, and those who are old and retired will also be taken care of by the court.
And those who died in battle, their families are martyrs, and they will also be taken care of by the court.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire mainland of China was almost crazy, and those veterans around the capital flocked to the city one after another, and poured to the front of the palace to thank God.
And the white-named crane went to the harem on this day to meet the queen mother according to the ceremony.
In the palace of Emperor Wu, Bai Minghe accompanied him to talk about some overseas experiences and things about Huaiyu and Yuanjun. Empress Dowager Wu was concerned: "Minghe, I heard that the two girls of the Ashikaga family were killed by your own hands." β
"The sons can't help it, for the sake of the safety of my China, they can't stay." The white crane himself felt very disobedient.
"I'm sorry for you!" Empress Dowager Wu is very concerned, and she can't hear anything in her words, and she is sincere.
"This is the duty of the son, and it can't be said to be bitter. It's just that when things come to this point, they can't be retreated, and they can't be let go. In exchange for the lives of tens of millions of people, the retainers had no choice. What's more, although the Wa Emperor is arrogant, after all, he is the king of Wajima, and the Ashikaga family who killed the lord is ambitious, and he really can't stay. "Shira-naka Crane will definitely not talk about the conspiracy of the imperial court about Wajima.
can only say some theories that the people of the world know on the bright side.
Empress Dowager Wu really cares about Bai Minghe: "Look at the girl in that family, and then ask for two rooms for you." β
"The queen mother's heart has been received, but it's better not to do it. The girl of the Xie family entered the house, and it has been a few months and she has not ordered a round house. It was Erchen who snubbed her, but she couldn't help but be snubbed, the state affairs were heavy, and she really couldn't take care of it. Therefore, the sons and daughters should stop harming other people's girls. β
"The queen mother doesn't like to hear this." Empress Dowager Wu smiled, but did not mention it again.
Bai Minghe said goodbye and withdrew, turned around and walked deeper into the harem, where there was the residence of Empress Sun.
A very quiet courtyard, the courtyard is arranged like a Buddhist hall.
Seeing Bai Minghe come in, Empress Dowager Sun, who was chanting the scriptures, stopped, motioned for the two palace maids to go out, and then sat in the top position, and her tone was not good: "I thought that the important ministers of the imperial court, the honorable Lord Bai, forgot about me, an old woman who was about to enter the ground."
