Section 17 The New Governance of the Han Dynasty
The North Court was more ferocious than the South Court, and its capacity was even worse, and although many states submitted to Great Xia, the whole country was annihilated if they were careless! In such a difficult situation, the Han could only clamp their tails to deal with things. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The new Chu king, Prince Wulihan, was really a restless lord, and seeing that our Han was properly governed and relatively wealthy, he repeatedly found excuses to oppress the Han and instigated Emperor Gao Hu Ruolan to restart the system of the annual endowment of the lower state, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for an annual endowment of 500,000 stones! What is the concept of 500,000 stones, which is equivalent to the rations of the national army of our Han Dynasty for half a year, how can I agree to such an unreasonable demand. After some maneuvering by Uncle Baili, in the end, Emperor Gao continued to fulfill his previous promise and did not add the annual tribute of my Han.
However, the new king of Chu is a very greedy person, very extravagant in life, and he will hold a banquet at every turn to make money, and every time he feasts, he asks the states to send him a big gift, and his status is more precious than that of Emperor Gao.
I have more than 10 years of tax reform history, the treasury savings are relatively rich, for this kind of congratulatory gift is not enough to mention, but the weakness of the Han country is still obvious, if you want to rise, you have to do a new national policy adjustment.
Since ascending the throne of the Han Emperor, I have been going to Dahua Palace to accompany the empress, hoping to use my sincerity to move her understanding of the royal family's change of surname.
Empress Meng is a kind mother, she was very distressed to see me so filial, and slowly began to understand me.
On this day, I took Lu Zhaojun to Dahua Palace again, and accompanied Queen Meng to eat fruit and chat.
Queen Meng chatted and talked about the emperor's uncle to win the heavens, she sighed and said: "Your imperial uncle is more filial, can't bear to win the family after this, would rather break away from the royal family than keep his surname, the emperor does not blame the imperial uncle for this matter, the queen mother is willing to say a favor for him!"
Before I could answer, Lu Zhaojun opened his mouth and said: "This imperial uncle is very domineering, obviously His Majesty has already stated that the grandmaster clan is from the surname Liu, not only did he not change his surname, but instead set up his own temple to win over my royal clansmen, and also gave the clansmen a big seal of land in the two places of Southwest Yi and Xiangjun! At present, almost one-third of the royal family relatives in Yongzhou of our Yongzhou have gone south to attach themselves to the imperial uncle, and the imperial uncle's approach seems to be to set up his own faction, and there is a great tendency to rebuild the Qin state!"
Empress Meng was shocked when she heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then asked me, "Emperor, is there really such a thing?"
I nodded and replied: "That's right, Queen Mother, Uncle Huang does this completely regardless of the life and death of the people, and is openly making enemies of me and the Han!"
Empress Meng was furious, slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Ridiculous, his emperor's uncle's fief is only one Shu County, how can he be qualified to divide the clansmen's land in Southwest Yi and Xiang County, it is simply a king's law!"
I smiled and said: "Uncle Huang has always been arbitrary and arbitrary, that day the defeat of the Shuicheng army Emperor remembered that he was the emperor's uncle, and he never condemned him, so he knew that the emperor's uncle should be, and he didn't receive the emperor's favor at all, but intensified his brazen opposition to the court!"
Empress Meng said angrily: "Good uncle, fortunately, my royal family has gained great power, otherwise there is really nothing to do with you! Tomorrow morning, the queen mother will also go to the court to listen to the government, and the queen mother will question him to see what he wants!"
Lu Zhaojun and I looked at each other for a moment, and then I coughed and said, "Uncle Huang said that he was sick and returned to the fiefdom of Shu County to recuperate, and he has been out of the court for more than two months!"
Empress Meng was shocked when she heard this, and said in a daze: "This, this, does this imperial uncle have to rebel?"
Empress Meng's thinking is very keen, and she saw the true purpose of the imperial uncle at the first time, and of course I also know the imperial uncle's calculations.
Then I got up and sighed: "This surname of the Win family is not born there, my ancestor of the Win family is the Boyi of the Emperor Shun when he was the fifth emperor, and the surname of Win is given by Emperor Shun, and then it has been passed down to the present, and the surname Win is not the original surname of my clan! My clan regards the surname Win as the honor of the ancestors, and it is respected but not forbearable, all because of the merit of Boyi assisting Emperor Shun! A surname can not be respected, but to see whether this surname has the merit of creating eternal generations, when my Han reunifies the Central Plains, my people will also be proud of the Liu family, admired by all the people, and can also be immortal!"
Empress Meng nodded, sighed and said: "There is some truth in what the emperor said, there was a mockery of the mediocre people disturbing themselves, if our people insist on not wanting to win the surname, provoke the win clan to destroy the clan and destroy the country, and will get the stupidity of the mediocre people to destroy themselves, and will be scolded by thousands of people in later generations! The queen mother has also figured out these days that the emperor's move is worried about the society of the country, and she endures humiliation and burdens to protect the people of the whole country, and the queen mother should fully support the emperor and no longer have any doubts! ”
I smiled and said: "The queen mother can also be called Your Majesty again, and it is also feasible to sit in the court and participate in politics! The emperor is the emperor, but in the future, he will inevitably have to fight against the enemy in person, and Empress Lu will be a mother in the near future, and she will have to take care of the little prince, I am afraid that it will be difficult to preside over the overall situation in the court, and everything will have to rely on the queen mother!"
Empress Meng was very happy after hearing this, and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that our clan is the Liu family today, and we should spread the branches!"
After speaking, Empress Meng asked Lu Zhaojun and said, "Empress Lu, my daughter-in-law, has there ever been movement in my stomach?"
Lu Zhaojun's face turned red after hearing this, and he replied very implicitly: "Queen Mother...... , I have been married to Your Majesty for less than a year, Your Majesty has been working all day on state affairs, and my body is in good health and recuperation, how can I be in such a hurry!"
After hearing this, Empress Meng nodded and said: "Well, state affairs must not be delayed, but husband and wife must also be affectionate, and it is appropriate for the lord of a country to have a queen, and the emperor and Empress Lu should be more concerned about this matter!"
...... , although it was very embarrassing, I had to salute with Lu Zhaojun and replied: "Yes, Queen Mother!"
Empress Meng was very happy, waved her hand to us and said: "Go, go, rest early, Empress Lu remembers to serve Your Majesty!
...... After leaving Dahua Palace, I originally wanted to go to the imperial study to check the folds again, but I was tightly dragged by Lu Zhaojun to the dormitory.
Lu Zhaojun instructed people to fetch water, and at the same time chattered with me: "Your Majesty, the queen mother ordered you to rest more, don't go through those recitals today, let the concubines wait for Your Majesty to rest!"
............
Lu Zhaojun has always been very shy, but today she has changed, and it feels a bit like coercing me, forcing me to lie in bed with her early. Although I still think about the little actions of the imperial uncle in my heart, after all, I can't beat Lu Zhaojun's sweet cherry lips, and I am completely fascinated by the gentle township! That night, the clouds and rain were three or four times, not newlywed, but especially newlywed.
Having a child is not in a hurry, how can you want it within a few days!
I naturally put this matter aside for the time being, and soon continued to devote myself to state affairs, the Han Dynasty has to further reform, and there must be a breakthrough, otherwise it will always be oppressed by these Huns and will not be able to raise its head.
Although the Han Dynasty adopted a new name and the royal family adopted a new surname, although it caused a huge sensation in the court and the royal family, the people and soldiers seemed very calm about this! For them, the country is still the same country, there is a life of peace and contentment, there is an enlightened lord of the country, and everything is just business as usual.
Ten years after the tax reform, the people are prosperous, the counties and markets are prosperous, and my ruling career has tended to be stable, which provides a favorable foundation for my next drastic reform of the Han Dynasty.
First of all, in the first step, I formulated a new administrative system, adding a state to the original county system, establishing a new state and county system, weakening the scope of the county guard, and adding a new position of state guard with more rights and territory!
The administrative division of the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty was re-divided, the land of Southwest Yi and Yelang was merged and named Yizhou, and Yizhou, Yelang, Qianwei, Qike, Yueshan and other counties were subdivided in Yizhou, and the officials of the state guards and new counties were personally appointed to carry out fine management of the state and land!
Qianzhong County was named Qianzhou, Nanjun was named Jingzhou, Nanyang County was named Yuzhou, Ba County was named Bazhou, Baima and Shu County were merged and named Chuanzhou, Hanzhong County was merged into Yongzhou and the name Yongzhou was used, and the northern part of Xiang County was merged into Guilin County and named Guizhou. The counties below the prefecture were also subdivided, and the officials of all sizes personally drew up all the land of the Han Dynasty in the hands of the imperial power, making it difficult for the emperor and Wang Zhe to strengthen their power in various places.
After the administrative reform, the Han Dynasty was a new type of dynasty with the land of Kyushu, which seemed to have the meaning of sitting on Kyushu, encouraging the people to work hard and finally realize the dream of unifying Kyushu.
In the second step, I also made arrangements for the civil and military division of the state officials, and the state and county guards and county orders were all civilian officials, and they were only in charge of matters related to governance! The post of assassin was added to the state, which was responsible for the garrison and garrison of the counties in the state, and it was the military position of the leading party! This is the case in every state, so that the state guard and the assassin can check each other, eliminating the situation in which one person is in charge of the power of one state, and also avoiding the scourge of someone raising a state rebellion because of their own selfish desires!
In the third step, the rights of the three posts of imperial history, Fengchang, and court lieutenant were strengthened, and the three serving ministers set up arrangements in the Yongzhou Kaifu, and then set up branch offices in each prefecture! In addition to managing the compilation and compilation of the Great Han Hundred Books into the annals, the imperial history was also responsible for supervising the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK and the officials of various prefectures, setting up schools in the middle of each prefecture, inspecting public sentiment and public opinion, and collecting the opinions and petitions of the people. Feng Chang is the legislature, and has also set up yamen in various prefectures to be responsible for all kinds of lawsuits and the trial and punishment of all kinds of offenders, and the prefectures, counties, and county governments no longer have the right to handle cases! Tingwei is responsible for public order throughout the country, and has set up arrest offices in various localities, and has been widely recruited to arrest and investigate brothers, so as to make arrangements for the enforcement of the laws of the Han Dynasty! In this way, the political system in various parts of the Han Dynasty has become military power, administrative power, and the power of officials and officials to supervise the people's feelings. The five powers of legislative judgment and law enforcement are separated, and the five major deployments are all supervised by the left and right prime ministers, and are personally constrained by the emperor, thus realizing the purpose of the Han Dynasty's imperial power to concentrate on the left and right prime ministers.
The fourth step is to further implement the tax reform to the end, strictly prohibiting the states and counties from privately increasing taxes on the basis of the national tax, and the part of the income of the county and county officials is from the national tax and the part of the deduction is left to the governments for their own use, so as to stimulate the motivation of the officials of the states and counties to govern the land.
The fifth step is to greatly increase the rights of the post of internal historian and set up tax bureaus in all prefectures, counties and counties to be responsible for strict tax management and put an end to all tax evasion. At the same time, the business road office will be set up to renovate the business road and market in various places, and build a sub-market on Tuoma Road, so as to ensure that the policy of revitalizing business will continue to be implemented to the end!
The sixth step is to spend money on the national treasury of the Han Dynasty, and follow the example of Hanzhong in various prefectures and counties, establish various national reclamation farms, raise poultry, cattle, sheep, and horses, and open mines to mine salt!
After the six major strategies of the New Deal of the Han Dynasty were introduced, the Han Dynasty from the court to the counties, counties and counties were all busy, and the ministers and officials were busy running around for the New Deal, and a new era of government was coming!
This is the first case of political reform in the contemporary world, and although there are countless virtuous and capable people in various countries, they have all reached such a high level of governance! They don't even understand it, they feel that the Great Han Kingdom is purely tossing, and they don't see any benefit from doing so at all!
After making some changes in governing the country, I adjusted the army, in addition to continuing to use the old Qin military meritorious position reward system, in addition to adding a new system for soldiers to receive salaries and rewards, although it is not much, but it can be regarded as creating a precedent for soldiers to receive salaries, and actively driving the enthusiasm of the people to join the army!
The army still carried out the strategy of raising troops in the garrison, and even the soldiers stationed on the Old Road, the Baochuan Road and the Meridian Road also cultivated many places in the mountains.
After the drastic political reform of the Han Dynasty, looking at the busy ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, I can finally relax!
However, I have a tight thread in my heart, I don't know if this will have an effect in ancient times, in case this thread collapses too tightly, attracting the common opposition of the people and officials, I am afraid that my road to the Han Dynasty will come to an end, and the emperor will use the banner of Daqin to rise again.
It's another crisis-ridden time, and today's big man will either succeed through the ages, or he will lose completely, as for the ending, I will wait and see with everyone!
