At noon, the sun shines and comes in through the glass

Fang Xin had just finished approving a stack of folds and yawned

In other words, for the recitals from various places or centers, they are first sent to the cabinet, and after the cabinet scholars read them, they write down the main points and suggestions for the recitals on a piece of paper and paste them on the opposite side of each recital for submission.

For the emperor, he is proficient in political affairs, and he can know it at a glance, saving countless efforts

So after four hours of work, today's recital was completed, Fang Xin got up to change his clothes, changed his clothes, and only then did he sit on a pavilion, and he heard a voice from outside: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asks to see you!" ”

"Oh, pass it on, just tell him to come here to see me!" Fang Xin moved and said.

Qin Haozhong came in, saw Fang Xin, bowed down and kowtowed, and said, "Long live the minister!" ”

"That's it, sir, please take a seat, no need to be polite!" Fang Xin waved his hand casually, sat down on the stone pavilion, and said with a smile: "Mr. hasn't entered the palace to see me for a few days, is his body peaceful?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the old minister's health is fine!" At this time, a palace maid served tea, and after serving tea, Fang Xin waved his hand and said, "You all go down, and you are not allowed to enter without listening to the announcement." ”

Qin Haozhong was very ministerial, and he bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie appreciates tea...... Last time, the emperor rewarded his ministers with a book of Analects, but the old minister didn't think so, but carefully pondered it, the words of the sage are really the words of the ages! Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from inequality, and they do not suffer from poverty but suffer from insecurity - this is the idea of the ages, and the same is true of land annexation, and the same is true of this merchant house. ”

Saying. Except for a few privileged. Generally speaking. Now the government and the government are aware of the mistake of land annexation. So there is a word called separation

That's right. Any county official, prefect. Under the collar. If there are tens of thousands of acres of land family. You have to find a way to spin it off. so as not to cause trouble. This has been recognized by the Ming and Qing governments on earth. Of course, I realize it in Dafan. So most of the counties. There are very few families with more than 1,000 acres

"Old ministers these days. Think carefully. Investigate the situation. Dafan founded the country of 300 nobles. Hereditary is not replaced. Although there were some folds along the way. But there have been rewards throughout the ages. It all adds up. Now there are six hundred nobles—these six hundred. Eighty percent of the world's wealth. It's terrifying. "Speaking of which. Qin Haozhong's face was already gloomy: "And." The nobleman is lawless. Deceive the people. This is also heard all the time. It has aroused public indignation. If not. The thieves rebelled back then. How will they kill all the nobles of the land? ”

Since the founding of the country. At the behest of Taizu. The nobleman and the scholar were sharply opposed. And it can't be fused

Why can't it be fused? The reason is simple. It's just that hereditary titles are too rare. Privileges are also reserved only to the titleholder. No other offspring shall receive it. So even if it's intermarriage. Nor can it really be shared

Qin Haozhong, as the representative of the scholars, was aware of the disadvantages of the noble lord system, but today, it has become a big one, and the power has a tendency to surpass the scholar class.

"Sir, it's my worries, but it's done, what is the way to do it?"

"Yes, the old minister has an excerpt here, please take a look at it." Fang Xin took it, and when he unfolded it, a few lines of words were impressive, which was shocking.

“…… Today, there are newspapers that can spread the world, it is really a sharp weapon, and there should be a division to report the lawlessness of the nobles, and over time, the world is evil, this is to strip its foundation, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world...... If you want to ** resentment boiling, the emperor ordered strictly, kill it to thank the world, and to the old ministers of the noble lord who has love and benevolence, and show compassion, this is to abandon the villain, reward the gentleman, so a few years, will be able to win the hope of the world, both feasible and feasible......"

Fang Xin looked at it, his eyes couldn't help but be dark, he got up and walked with steps, his heart rolling

A lie repeated a thousand times is the truth! Who has mastered public opinion. Who controls the right to speak. Whoever holds the truth! A newspaper, a thick stack of only two pennies. It is a powerful weapon that affects the world.

Fang Xin only built five newspapers, and all the people he sent were controlled by personnel from the Imperial Internal Affairs Office (intelligence agency), so he knew this truth, but he didn't expect that this newspaper would be targeted by the cabinet two years after it came out

But after thinking about it, it is also reasonable, the reason why the scholarly and literati class can remain unchanged from dynasty to dynasty and enjoy glory forever is because of the control of public opinion and the right to speak.

Anyone who infringed on the scholarly and literati class, according to their rank, was a villain, a traitor, a tyrant, and even the emperor was within the scope of attack and control

This is called "Confucius is afraid of the Spring and Autumn Period and the chaotic ministers and thieves"

It is precisely because this is the lifeblood that as soon as the newspaper appeared, it challenged the deep-rooted discourse power of the scholarly literati class, and of course, the first time it would pay close attention and try to control it.

Thinking of this, Fang Xin laughed at first, he was originally dealing with the aristocratic class, but now he was keenly aware of this for the first time, this can be regarded as political acumen!

Not to mention this, the specific method is also very considerable

It is also a soft knife to kill people, cut sausages, boil frogs in warm water, and first stink this group of people in public opinion, so that the people of the world gradually dislike and oppose it, so even if there are tens of millions of family fortunes, what about it?

The emperor shook his arms, and ten thousand people stepped forward

To destroy the clan by raiding the family, even if the nobles start a rebellion, there are few responders

In the process, you can't strike alone, after all, the condensed aristocratic power is also considerable, once there is chaos, it will be a disaster, so we must first grasp the typical example of the boiling of public resentment to correct the law, which can not only hit the nobles but also cultivate prestige, and can also reward some nobles halfway and divide them.

This kind of method is the most proficient in a certain organization on the earth, and I can't imagine that this world also has this method

Is it feasible?

It is completely feasible, if Fang Xin cooperates, in ten years, the aristocratic class can basically be eliminated through this method of "differentiation, unity and elimination", but this will not be beneficial to history and society at all

After all, now the aristocracy and industry and commerce are one, and if you want to fight one side, you will definitely eradicate it, which is back to the Confucian agricultural centralized society that values agriculture and light commerce.

And in this way, even if he succeeds, the emperor will have no way out, but will become a puppet of the scholar class.

Fang Xin thought clearly, sneered secretly, but tucked this piece into his sleeve in his hand, this is a big killer, proving that everything is the prime minister's start, not my emperor's doing, in case there is also political leeway, it must be kept, and it can no longer be given to people.

After a while, Fang Xin said: "What Mr. said is very true, this matter is very important, Rong Zhen thinks about it one or two!" ”

Between the words, he was a little late and a little worried, but it was exactly what the young emperor should be.

"Your Majesty, now your lord is powerful, the tail is big, wait for some time, don't cut it, it's the opposite, cut it now, although there is a counter-urgency, the disaster is still small, don't cut it, its duration, the disaster is also big, I hope the emperor will investigate."

At this time, although Fang Xin hinted at the beginning, but now it is the prime minister who urges it.

Fang Xin sneered, but said late on the surface: "It's just that the society is noble and quiet, I'm afraid of chaos, I study, and I also think of a method, sir, can I listen to it?" ”

"I would like to hear Your Majesty's words."

"The ancient vassal king was a disaster, and he used to push the grace order, and now I think it can also be used, what does Mr. think?" After speaking, Fang Xin looked at the prime minister

When Qin Haozhong heard this Tui'en order, he was shocked in his heart, and his thoughts were rolling, but he said: "The ancient vassal king's Tui'en is to reduce his land, and there is not much land for your lords today." ”

"There is not much land, and there are many goods, and the princes are built and their strength is less, the reason is so, now the princes have their own industries, and the year is one million, among which there is no one, such as the court to add the law to the top, the matter is urgent, then set its strength, to oppose the court, I am very surprised!" Fang Xin showed a look of hesitation, and said: "Today, the princes have dozens of descendants, but only leave the inheritance to the heirs, and although the others are flesh and blood, there is no inheritance to obtain, which is against the way of benevolence and filial piety." ”

The emperor is late, and Qin Haozhong is helpless, but he has always thought about it, this is also the way, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "The nobleman can prosper, although the privileges given by the Taizu are not tax-free, but they are also reduced, and they are not subject to the government's private inspection and ban. ”

Meaning, why are nobles strong? Today, it is even richer than the country, because Taizu once gave the privilege of tax reduction and the right not to be violated by the government, so now under the Tui En order, will this right be given?

Fang Xin smiled at this time, showing a confident appearance, and said slowly: "Taizu's law cannot be abolished, the abolitionist is only afraid that he will be cleared immediately, and even I will not be spared, but since it is a tui'en, it naturally cannot be compared with the title of Taizu, not only the title cannot be hereditary, but the right to reduce taxes has been removed, and this property is not subject to private inspection and ban by the government, but it can still be maintained - after all, their property was originally a noble family, not a foreign business!" ”

In other words, what they divided was originally an industry that the government could not manage, and since this is the case, how to divide the court will not suffer a loss!

Qin Haozhong thought about this, but he didn't notice a flaw, so he asked: "This reason is shallow, and the nobleman's people also understand it in their hearts, but how to implement the Tui En Order?" Is it forced by the imperial court? Moreover, are you not afraid of clearly dividing the industry, secretly not dividing, and defrauding the imperial court? ”

"Why is this difficult, sir, although the son-in-law of the step-lord is against it, but apart from the son-in-law, which of the other children and grandchildren is against it? The will of the group cannot be violated, what can the eldest son do? It is not a problem, as for the false division of property, this matter can also be handled, and it can be determined by wealth. ”

"Fortune is a knight?"

"It is exactly like this, if the children of a nobleman show 100,000 silver yuan to the government, they can be appointed as a knight, if it is 300,000, they can be named a man, if it is 600,000, they can be appointed as a son, and if a million can be appointed as an earl, they can pay taxes according to this rule every year...... If it is a false division of property, it is naturally impossible to pay taxes, which is the crime of deceiving the king, and not only can the family property be confiscated, but also the crime can be punished-sir, what do you think of this strategy? ”

Qin Haozhong heard this, secretly shuddered, gasped, thought about it, and said: "What the emperor said is very good, but this is the most important thing, and let the ministers think about it for a few days!" ”

Fang Xin looked at the prime minister and said with a smile: "Of course, this is a major matter of the country, it should be like this, and Mr. He's method can be cooperated to see - Mr. can consider it mature, and give me the last schedule!"
