Chapter 0260 Alas~ Young······
Hearing Wang Ling's profound reminder, Liu Ying's eyes suddenly surged with a touch of complexity.
Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, from the sixtieth chapter of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", which can be regarded as a very representative value embodiment of Lao Tzu and even the entire Huang Lao doctrine.
As for the political wisdom implied in this sentence, it is actually not too deep to understand.
- Governing a large country is like cooking a delicious side dish, every step seems to be unremarkable and there are no special points to pay attention to, but in fact, it is these seemingly ordinary steps that finally converge into a delicious dish.
To put it more simply, it is 'no small matter above the court', but all state affairs should be treated with caution regardless of size.
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty, with Huang Laoxue as the ruling school, has a deeper and more philosophical interpretation of the sentence 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh'.
And the core of this new interpretation is to control the 'heat' of the dishes step by step.
——The abolition of the first emperor's government and the separation of feuds, is it a question of right and wrong, or a question of 'heat'?
In later generations, the answer to this question may not be absolute, but in today's Han family, it is a common word.
In the eyes of today's Han Dynasty, the courtiers of these high temples, the abolition of the first emperor is a very typical "want to cook well, but because of the failure to control the heat, the entire kitchen was burned".
In this way, Wang Ling gave Liu Ying a series of laws and regulations to give a suggestion of 'governing a big country if cooking a small fresh', and its intention is self-evident·······
"Whew~"
Thinking about this, Liu Ying only exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then bowed solemnly to Wang Ling with sincerity.
"The Marquis of Wang'an is not stingy to give advice!"
——As early as the day before yesterday, when the edict of Tui Grace and the Collateral Benefit Law were exported, Liu Ying already had the intention of 'testing the reaction of the court', and made all psychological preparations.
And now, Wang Ling is willing to point out that these laws and decrees that have been proven by history are used in the 'fire' problems that may be caused by the Han dynasty today, and Liu Yingzi is also very happy to hear about it.
After all, no matter how you say it, it is better to be educated by a founding father than to blindly withdraw from the decree in the future, which will lead to a shock in the regime·······
"Minister, dare ·······"
Seeing that Liu Ying's expression did not show displeasure, Wang Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his evaluation of Liu Ying couldn't help but go up a level.
- Regardless of temperament and ability, being able to listen to advice, especially those that point out one's own shortcomings, is enough to become a qualified heir to the regime!
With this evaluation in his heart, Wang Ling no longer had any reservations, and put all his opinions in front of Liu Ying.
"In the past, His Royal Highness occasionally pointed out that the princes were in turmoil, so that Han Zuo consumed himself, and said that he pushed grace and seconded the proposals, and the ministers and the Marquis of Beiping had already guessed His Highness's intentions."
As he spoke, Wang Ling did not forget to smile and look at Zhang Cangyi, and then his face was a little clear.
"The "Tui En Order" drafted by His Royal Highness seems to be able to make the court effortless, and remove the danger of the Kwantung princes' tails."
"However, in fact, one cannot achieve quick results, two cannot be the heart of the world, and third, it is even more unfavorable to the world, especially the defense of the north wall!"
The tone was full of solemnity, and there was no trace of relief on Wang Ling's face.
"Han Li and the king of the different surname eight, but now Yingbu rebellion and defeated, in the future, the Han family in the Guandong, should only leave Changsha King Wu this family of the princes with different surnames."
"Therefore, His Royal Highness's "Tui En Order" must be the main line for the princes of the clan."
"That's why I can't get quick results·······"
"——Those who are now princes of the clan in Guandong have three kings of Chu, Qi, and Zhao, and the fourth son of the emperor Heng is about to be crowned king."
"In addition to these four, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, has been awarded the head, Liu Jia, the king of Jing, has been killed, Yingbu, the king of Huainan, has been defeated, and Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, has also been opposed.
"When Your Majesty arrives in abundance and worships his ancestors, and returns to Chang'an with His Royal Highness, the first person in the court will be the sons of His Majesty, Wang Liang, Yan, Jing, and Huainan and other places."
With a serious expression, Wang Ling looked at Liu Ying's gaze, and there was a little bit of warning.
"Your Highness, think about it."
"The king of Chu is the half-brother of His Majesty, and he is over the age of six, and he is in the sons of the king of Chu with the "Tui En Order", and he can still divide the Chu country into the number of princes."
"However, in addition to the king of Chu, how many of the princes of the Kwantung clan are crowned adults, and how many are young and have children?"
Speaking of this, Wang Ling couldn't help but shake his head with a calm face.
"Your Majesty's sons, with the King of Qi as the elder, but the King of Qi is only more than 20 years old, and all the sons of the King of Qi are either in the year of the horn or in infancy."
"If you want to push the sons of the king of Enqi and divide the kingdom, and if you are widowed, you should wait for thirty years before you can do it."
"The eldest son of His Majesty King Qi is only the age of crowning, and the king of Zhao, the acting king, or the princes who have not yet been crowned, are more years old."
"If you want to wait for him to die in old age, and then push grace to split the princes' lands, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it for thirty or fifty years."
"However, the disadvantages of the princes' great power, where did they get thirty or fifty years, thinking that they had the opportunity to turn around?"
Speaking of this, Wang Ling paused his words abruptly, lowered his head, and asked Liu Ying to digest these contents carefully.
- And the last sentence, Wang Ling didn't dare to say.
Today, Liu Bang is over the age of sixteen, and his health is deteriorating, but among the Liu clan, there are still many adult royal families from side branches·······
Even if you put aside Liu Bang's second brother, Liu Xi, who lost the position of acting king due to 'escape from the war', Liu Bi and Liu Xin in the second generation of the Liu family are definitely not easy to get along!
Be.
Now that Liu Bang is still alive, the two nephews Liu Bi and Liu Xin can't make any waves at all.
But don't forget: Yingbu rebelled this time, and the Han family also folded in a Jing King Liu Jia!
Jingdi was already given to Liu Jia, a side branch clansman, by Liu Bang today, and now that Liu Jia is gone, Jingdi will most likely still be given to the side branch clansmen.
As for who it is for, it depends on the 'Marquis of Tangjie' and 'Liu Xi's son', who can be more hated by Liu Bang today.
Judging from the past events of the 'Marquis of Tangjie' and Liu Bi's performance in participating in this counterinsurgency, it is likely that the one who will win Wang Jingdi in the future will be Liu Xi's son Liu Bi.
What kind of person is Liu Bi?
——Historically, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, which occurred in the early years of Emperor Jing, was almost set off by Liu Bi!
Such a person can accept Liu Ying, a fart doll who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, what kind of bullshit 'push grace order'?
If you refuse to obey the edict, it is all light!
I'm afraid that when the time comes, this freshly baked King Jing's tooth groove will bite his heart and make trouble, and then raise troops to make trouble, I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to clean up·······
——The pot of rebellion of the princes of the clan is definitely not something that Liu Ying, the young son of heaven, who has just ascended the throne, has not yet controlled the court, and has not yet performed the crown salute, can easily carry it!
Grain
The reason is simple.
Liu Bang is here, and the clan relatives are not opposed, why did your own relatives rebel as soon as Liu Ying took the throne?
Oh~
It turned out to be "Tui En Order"~
Who implemented the "Tui En Order"?
Therefore, what Wang Ling really wants to say is not that 'the clan princes are still too young, and the "Tui En Order" will not be effective in a short time', but that this law that obviously implies evil intentions may trigger a violent reaction from some clan princes, especially those who are young and strong from side branches.
For this, Liu Ying understood, obviously did not spend much effort, only lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.
Seeing that Liu Ying was willing to accept his opinion, Wang Ling continued: "Second: it makes the world dissatisfied, thinking that my Han family is unkind!" ”
"Your Highness should know that the system of sub-sealing has existed since the time of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it has been around for a long time."
"However, throughout the past thousands of years, there has never been a thing of 'dividing the clan as kings, and then splitting the land with the king's sons'."
"The "Tui En Order", although it only splits the land of the princes and the king's sons, and the court does not take half an inch of the princes' land, but in the eyes of the people of the world, is this matter not equivalent to the death of a peasant, and the sons are divided into separate households?"
"The people and peasants are divided into separate households, and the eldest son still gets the father's land, and the remaining son only gets a little money and grain, and the other households are self-reliant."
"The people are like this, and the princes are princes, and they are even more princes and royal families, how can they divide their property equally among the sons?"
"Therefore, the minister said that the "Decree of Grace" may make the world dissatisfied, but it is a move, or when the people of the world are divided, the sons will have disputes due to the unevenness of their fathers, and the differences between the heirs and the lord will be chaotic."
"If this is the case, the national policy of the Han family to be strong and weak, and to move the world to be stronger than Guanzhong, should be shaken·······"
Hearing this, even if she didn't want to admit it, Liu Ying could only smile helplessly and nodded.
The strong cadres and weak ones in Wang Ling's mouth, and the heroes of the wide moving world are stronger than Guanzhong, which seems to have nothing to do with the eight poles of "Tui En Order".
But Liu Ying knew very well in her heart: Wang Ling's words were the only key point of the people's "Tui En Order".
-- The genetic model of equal distribution of family property is a blow to the economy and society of small farmers!
Strong and weak, as the name suggests, is a strong dry branch that weakens the stubble.
To put it more clearly, it is the support and protection of the small landlord yeoman peasant class pursued by the Han dynasty today, so as to consolidate and strengthen the 'agricultural capital', suppress the big landlord and powerful class, and weaken and suppress the 'Shang Dynasty'.
One of the most crucial policies in the Han family's support of the small landlords, the yeoman peasant class, and the suppression of the big landlords and the powerful class, was the compulsory separation of households.
To put it simply, it is to pass laws and regulations to force private men to stand on their own when they become adults, so as to avoid the emergence of large clans, and even gate valves and families.
Naturally, the landlords and powerful classes with 'low political composition' were unable to resist this policy, but could only divide their property among their sons, and then divide them into separate households.
However, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the policy, ordinary small landlords and yeoman farmers were also included in the scope of compulsory separation of households by the Han family.
In this way, in order to ensure the inheritance of the family and the preservation of the family wealth to the greatest extent, whether it is a landlord or a yeoman farmer, the eldest son can only adopt the method of 'the eldest son inherits most of the production tools, and the rest divides some of the start-up capital'.
If the landlord is strong, he will inevitably pass on all the houses, shops, and even acres of land to the tenants, so as to ensure the longevity of the 'lineage' as much as possible.
The homesteaders are similar, leaving all the acres of land to the eldest son, and then giving the other sons a few stones of grain and a few thousand dollars, and letting them go out and work their own.
At first glance, compared with the inheritance distribution plan of 'the eldest son takes all, and the rest are swept away', it is obviously an equal distribution, which can serve the purpose of weakening the landlord's strength.
But if this is really done, the landlords will be weakened, but the yeoman peasant class, which could still survive in front of it, will completely lose the ability to be 'self-reliant' in just one generation.
It's not hard to see why.
- The powerful landlord's family has a big business, even if he gives birth to a few more sons, some of them give inheritance to his sons, at most, a big rich family is divided into a few small rich families.
But the yeoman peasant class, especially the yeoman peasant class of the Han dynasty today, is almost the same 'one hundred acres of land per household'!
In this case, if the family inheritance is not ensured through the 'distinction between the descendants', then it is very likely that 'a yeoman farmer is divided into several tenant farmers', or even several tenant slaves!
As in most later eras, as the main contributor to military service, labor service, and taxes, and the most solid supporter of Liu Han's society, the yeoman peasant class accounts for ninety-nine, if not more, of today's Han population.
As for the rich and powerful landlords, as in most times in the future, they only account for a very small percentage.
In order to weaken the tyranny of only a few thousand families in the whole world, it is obviously not something that a qualified regime can do.
Therefore, in order not to harm the fragile yeoman peasant class, and to ensure that the 'descendants are different' and 'the inheritance of the eldest son' is widely implicated, and even involves the etiquette and law order of the rules of the imperial inheritance, the plan of 'equal distribution of inheritance' must not appear in any form in the Han family.
At least for a few decades, it cannot appear in the form of a group with a prominent status such as the 'princes and kings', or in the form of a national law such as the "Tui En Decree".
It's also easy to understand.
- Equal distribution of the inheritance?
- Then I'll see if you're royally divided!
- A heavenly position, I see how many people you can sit on!
"Alas·······"
"I'm still young······"
"Even if in order to protect the primogeniture inheritance system, the Tui En Decree cannot appear so early·······"
After thinking about it, he saw that Wang Ling wanted to look at his mouth again, but was stopped by Liu Ying with a wry smile and raised his hand.
"An Guohou doesn't need to say anything."
"Alone."
"Third, the hall is small and the treasury is empty, and the north wall is still insufficient for self-protection, if Tui En is weak Yan, Dai, Zhao and other princes, the north wall is to the Xiongnu, it should be useless·······"
Seeing that Liu Ying took the initiative to express his third concern about the "Tui En Order", Wang Ling only smiled with relief, and immediately gave Liu Ying a little bow.
"His Royal Highness is gifted and intelligent, and in time, he will be another Ming monarch and a hero······"
Hearing Wang Ling's compliment, Liu Ying shook his head with a bitter smile full of loneliness.
"I didn't even anticipate the drawbacks of the "Tui En Order" and the possible negative impact on today's Han family·······"
"Lonely, can you really become a Mingjun·······
Shaking his head again with a bitter expression, Liu Ying finally stood up in a trance and bowed to Wang Ling and Zhang Cang.
——Today, Liu Ying has benefited a lot.
As for the Zuoguan Decree, the Collateral Benefit Law, the A-Party Law, and many other laws and regulations that restricted the separatist power of the princes, under the premise that the mildest "Tui'en Decree" was pointed out that it was "not applicable to the Han dynasty today", there was no longer any point in continuing the discussion·······
