"This is a gift from the immortals...... The yield per mu is above wheat and corn...... If it is planted in large quantities in Guanzhong, it can make the people less hungry...... There are many mouths in the world! ”

Xiang Yu added: "You can take the lead in trying to plant in a county, and then depending on the climate, season, etc., in Guanzhong, and even in the world, it will be planted on a large scale!" ”

"The fields of the world are divided into Shimoda, Nakata, and Ueda. There is less than one floor in Ueda, less than three in Nakata, and as many as six floors in Shimoda. However, these two crops are best suited for Shimoda...... Try growing corn, rice, and wheat in Ueda, and potatoes and corn in Nakata! ”

Zhang Cang nodded and said, "No!" ”

Xiang Yu nodded, very satisfied.

This is the advantage of centralization, to concentrate on doing great things, if it is like Athens, democratic discussion, for a few days and nights, there is no result, and the discussion is out.

Zhang Cang stepped back.

Xiang Yu summoned Chen Ping again and said, "Protector Division, investigate how taxes are paid, but there are people who are greedy for ink!" ”

"Yes, there are quite a few of them!"

Chen Ping said.

Hand over a ledger with paper on it.

It's like e-books are popular, but there is still a part of the market for physical books.

A year ago, papermaking and printing had come out, and a large number of books were printed, but there were still some classics, household registrations, taxes, etc.

Of course, for the sake of convenience, the Protector Division was the first to use paper.

Xiang Yu looked at it roughly, frowning slightly.

There are a lot of greedy inks, and the number is still very large.

There are also a few Hou masters, mainly the Xiang family.

Zhang Cang, Xiang He, etc., the statistics handed in were falsified, and the officials under them were greedy for countless money.

Some counties are less greedy for ink, and some counties are more greedy for ink - not the incumbent officials are greedy for ink, but the old accounts left by the previous officials.

Although it is calculated every year and cleared every year, the number must increase horizontally when the wind and rain are good.

Coupled with the moment of war, some people took advantage of the fire to rob.

"Chen Ping, what should people who are greedy for ink do?" Xiang Yu asked.

Chen Ping said: "Most of the officials in Guanzhong are Qin officials. The officials of the Qin State are all villains, villains are afraid of power but not virtue, you are good to them, they are bad to you; You treat them badly, they kneel and surrender! ”

"You should kill it, but you can't kill it too much!"

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Go down and kill people, point to the Lord!" You do things, I don't worry! ”

"No!"

Chen Ping retreated.

Xiang Yu looked at the roster again, which recorded the illegal acts of various princes, officials, etc., the old officials of the Qin Dynasty, and the generals of the Chu army who entered the customs, all of whom were greedy for ink under various names.

Looking at these, Xiang Yu smiled bitterly.

You can't kill them all, and killing them all will make a big mess.

Of course, you can't help but kill ...... Not killing will not deter the princes and officials.

An emperor who can't kill people, an emperor who can't make his courtiers afraid, is not a good emperor.

The only thing I feel fortunate is that everyone is each other, his situation here is not good, Liu Bang is not good, and King Chu Huai is not good.

"Can't be cleaned...... At least not for the time being! ”

Xiang Yu pondered.

If the little people want to succeed, they must work hard, struggle, and all kinds of opportunities; But if the strong want to succeed, they only need to make fewer mistakes.

It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, who can not make mistakes, but at critical moments, you can't make mistakes.

Historically, if Xiang Yu retreated during the Battle of Julu, it may be that Zhang Han broke the Six-Nation Alliance in Julu, and Ziying killed Zhao Gao to seize power, which may temporarily stabilize the situation.

If it is a child, if the edict is issued, the situation may be stabilized, and the Great Qin will continue for three hundred years.

It's a pity that Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and struck a blow that ruined the national fortune of the Qin State.

In history, Xiang Yu divided the princes of the world, there was a wrong code?

No.

Liu Bang also canonized the world, and the princes stood side by side, and it was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pushed the edict to solve the problem of the princes.

Canonized princes, is there a mistake?

No mistakes!

In the later period of the Western Han Dynasty, why Wang Mang was able to usurp the throne was not because the imperial family had no power under the Tui'en order. If there are huge princes in the place, will Wang Mang dare to usurp the throne?

Therefore, the next step is to reuse the Xiang family, cronyism, and let the Xiang family control some key positions and key positions, especially the army.

You don't see, Liu Bang is also nepotism.

Many heroes are just princes who work hard all their lives; But the Liu family, without credit, can lie down and win as kings.

Of course, in order to prevent the Xiang family from sitting on a big ...... It is also necessary to use the faction of meritorious heroes to restrict the Xiang family.

In history, Xiang Yu's biggest mistake was to give up Guanzhong.

As long as you occupy Guanzhong, no matter how many mistakes you make, you can make up for it; As long as you lose Guanzhong, even if you win more, it will be difficult to make up for the mistake of losing Guanzhong.

You have to get the world.

Before the Song Dynasty, whoever occupied Guanzhong was the lord of the world and the emperor. The dynasties of the past dynasties all occupied Guanzhong and then occupied the world.

Only Liu Xiu occupies Hebei and wins the world.

He is the only one in history.

Historically, why Xiang Yu withdrew from Guanzhong, is it because Xiang Yu has no strategic vision, not at all.

In the early days, Xiang Yu also planned to settle the capital in Guanzhong, but the Chu people missed their hometown.

There are many moments when a person does not know to represent himself and also represent the interests of a group of groups.

Xiang Yu had to succumb to his subordinates, left Guanzhong, and had to retreat to Pengcheng.

Similarly, after Liu Bang won the world, his subordinates also missed their hometown and wanted to set the capital Luoyang, but in the end, under Zhang Liang's persuasion, they did not submit to their subordinates, but set the capital in Guanzhong.

In history, why Xiang Yu lost was not because of short-sightedness, not because of lack of bearing, not because of cruelty, but because of lack of ruthlessness.

Xiang Yu insisted that human nature is reliable, and there is trust between people.

So he trusted his clansmen, but his uncle Xiang Bo betrayed; believed in the brother Yingbu, and as a result, Yingbu betrayed; believed in his subordinate Zhou Yin, but Zhou Ying betrayed.

Liu Bang was born as a commoner and grew up in discrimination, because he disdained farming as a farmer, his father looked down on him, his sister-in-law despised him, and later he became a son-in-law and went to serve in forced labor.

Life experience made him firmly believe that human nature is unreliable.

Liu Bang didn't trust Xiao He, and beat Xiao He, and Xiao He went directly to prison; didn't believe Han Xin, and pushed his clothes and food several times, but he took away his military power several times; didn't believe in Lu Hou, and directly buried Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and a few other nails.

In history, Xiang Yu's biggest mistake was not that he did not kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, but that he did not purge the internal factions of the Chu army in time.

The founding emperor, because the power of the meritorious heroes is too great and affects the monarchy, will consciously suppress the faction of meritorious heroes. Some reuse civil servants and suppress military generals, such as Li Shimin and Liu Xiu; some directly purge ministers, such as Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang; Some rise and fall secretly, and release military power with a glass of wine, such as Zhao Kuangyin.

The emperor controls everything, instead of being coerced by his courtiers and obeying his courtiers' opinions.

Xiang Yu's failure lies in the fact that there was no timely purge, and the various factions within the Chu army did not achieve factional balance, and the heroes changed their factions to coerce Xiang Yu.

"It is necessary to suppress the faction of meritorious ......"

Xiang Yu took out a notebook again, which recorded more than 200 officials.

How to govern the world and the land of millions of people is a big problem.

These more than 200 officials dominate Guanzhong and the fate of Dachu.

The strokes are delineated, divided into factions, the Chu army faction, the Qin official faction, and the neutral faction.

Within each faction, they are fighting and uniting with each other.

Xiang Yu relied on these 200 officials to govern the world.

These more than 200 officials are in charge of about 200,000 officials, ruling the world.

How to manage 200,000 officials?

One relies on the system, that is, the strict official system of the Qin Dynasty, that is, the "law" of the Legalist Shang Ying.

One relies on power, the divine authority of the monarch, the mythical emperor, the five virtues always say, the construction of palaces, etc., are all to create the power of the king, so that the courtiers are afraid and afraid, trembling, unwilling to look directly at the king.

One is the technique, that is, the balancing technique, otherwise the various forces will sit big, and when a certain force is big, it will be cut off in time, or beaten.

The first two can be followed by the system of the previous dynasty.

But the third is to test the king's ability to govern the country.

A king can be unintelligent, he can be unintelligent, he can be cronyistic, he can be cruel and unkind, he can have many shortcomings, but as long as he does not let a certain force sit on the throne, the various factions are unbalanced.

can be a good emperor in peace.

Of course, there are also many fools who directly destroy the old balance without creating a new one.

For example, Qin II killed Li Si, but did not create a new prime minister to balance Zhao Gao, so Zhao Gao was dominant, and Qin II was killed.

In fact, Li Si did not die, and Zhao Gao did not dare to kill the king.

Li Si also felt that Qin II would not kill him, after all, he had to use him to balance Zhao Gao.

But Li Si overestimated Qin II's IQ, or Qin II thought that his IQ was high, so the last thing that should have happened often happened.

Whether it is the law, the potential, or the technique, in essence, it is for stability and for the purpose of maximizing benefits.

Let the people benefit and let the ministers benefit.

If you offend the people and curry favor with the ministers, the country may be unstable, but at least for the time being, there is no big problem, such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty

offended the ministers and curried favor with the people, there may be chaos, but the problem of killing is not big, such as Empress Lu, Wu Zetian, and Zhu Yuanzhang.

can offend the people, and offend the ministers, and it will be finished immediately, such as Qin II, the late Qing Emperor.

As if thinking of something, Xiang Yu stood up and threw the ledger directly into the fire, the flames burned, and all of them turned into ashes.

In a trance, I thought of "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty", and the emperor of the Song Dynasty directly set fire to the evidence submitted by Song Ci and burned it directly.
