Chapter 66 Reform Plan
Li Keyong, Li Cunmiao, and Chen Qiuming sat cross-legged for three days, and after a few rounds of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Li Ke said to Chen Qiuming with a sigh: "The old man is a guilty person, and my Li family is favored by the emperor, but the old man not only did not keep the Tang Dynasty, but let Zhu Wen, the wolf-hearted dog, usurp the throne, even if the old man dies in the future, he will have no shame to see his father and the kings of the Tang Dynasty underground." β
With the help of Mr., Yazi hit Liang Jun several times, which really made the old man overjoyed. Mr. Bu said that before this, the old man never thought that my Li family would fight for hegemony in the world, and the reason why he was called the emperor was also to anger Zhu Wen's dog thief, but in the past few days, Yazi has respected Mr. and persuaded the old man to change his concept. β
"My Jin country is barren land, sparsely populated, lack of money and food, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bear the weight of the struggle for hegemony in the world, if a single round of war, my Li family is not afraid of anyone, but if it is about governing the world, my Li family is afraid that it is still a layman, and the governance of several states in the Jin country still gives the old man a headache, not to mention the world? I hope that my husband will teach me all these difficulties. β
Chen Qiuming smiled slightly when he heard this, to put it bluntly, Li Keyong still didn't trust himself very much, and wanted to take the school exam in person, so he replied unhurriedly: "Back then, Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang about the strategic policy of pacifying the world, and Zhang Liang told Liu Bang to temporarily obey Xiang Yu and accumulate strength for the future. β
"Today, my strategy for Your Majesty is actually similar, to the south, pretend to reconcile with Zhu Wen, first accumulate money and food, stabilize the people's livelihood, recruit talents, train soldiers, and so on, and grow stronger, to the west you can persuade Qi to surrender, conquer Dingnan and Shuofang, to the east you can conquer Yanyou by force, and to the north you can crusade against the Khitan."
"When the time is ripe, I will exterminate Zhu Wen in one fell swoop and settle the Central Plains, as for the southern princes, I can suppress and suppress, I can win over and win over, I can divide and divide, and I will attack from afar, as long as my internal affairs are stable and my money and food are sufficient, I don't have to worry."
"The advantage of our Jin State lies in its military strength and its ability to fight well, and its weakness lies in the lack of reasonable systems and means for local governance, the scarcity of population, and the lack of money and food, and the fundamental reason for the weakness is the lack of civil officials who are good at governance. Your Majesty, the equal emphasis on civil and military affairs is the royal road, and the local moderation makes both military and administrative management, not only too centralized power, but also mostly barbaric and rude governance, regardless of the life or death of the people, this is the fundamental reason for the warlord division and turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty. β
Li Keyong listened very carefully, nodded his head constantly when he heard the highlights, and when he heard that he didn't care about his identity at the end, he eagerly answered: "Mr.'s words are insightful, but my Jin Kingdom really lacks literati who can govern the country and secure the country, so what?" β
Chen Qiuming said with a smile: "Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you can't come in a hurry, the last time our army went south, and obtained hundreds of scholars, I plan to divide it into two groups, the best group of people, you can try it while training, and most of the rest, I plan to set up a teacher college, and after some training, put it in various states, counties, and counties to teach and educate people." β
"In addition, Your Majesty can also open a department and recruit talents, so that while cultivating and recruiting, as long as Your Majesty attaches importance to it and gives the literati the corresponding respect and status, after a long time, the literary style of the Jin Kingdom will naturally flourish."
"Rich country and strong army is a complex topic, involving all aspects of the details, I suggest that Your Majesty take Luzhou as a pilot, boldly let Yazi and I do it, and then test the results after a period of time, the good strategy will naturally be promoted throughout the country, and the bad ones will be summarized and corrected, so it is both safe and does not lose the square inch, what does Your Majesty think?"
Li Keyong, as the patriarch of the Shatuo clan, seems to be barbaric and vulgar, but he is coarse and detailed, and there is no lack of courage and strategy, otherwise how could he lay such a foundation in the troubled times?
He sighed and said: "I am old, and the future of the Jin Kingdom can only be created by Mr. Yazi He, and the affairs of Luzhou are tossed by you at will." Although Mr. Iguan is young, he is strategizing and planning the country when he is old, and he is the best talent for governing the world that God has given me in the Jin Kingdom. Yazi is brave and benevolent, but lacks strategy, and in the future, he will rely on Mr. to assist Yazi, and Yisheng is grateful! β
After speaking, he clenched his fists and wanted to lean down to salute Chen Qiuming, Chen Qiuming hurriedly dragged him and said sincerely: "Your Majesty and Yazi treat me as a national soldier, and I will repay him as a national soldier in the future, and I will do my best to assist Yazi to sweep the world and create a prosperous world!" β
Li Keyong left Luzhou on the second day and went back to Taiyuan Mansion, after all, as the king of a country, he could stay in Luzhou for a long time. In the morning, Li Cunmiao, Chen Qiuming, and Wujian were discussing in the hall, and after getting his father's approval, Li Cunmiao couldn't wait to show his strength immediately, and hurriedly asked Chen Qiuming what to do next.
Chen Qiuming didn't answer and asked, "What is the movement of Yang Shihou's 60,000 army?" β
Li Cunmiao replied: "I have withdrawn from Luzhou and gone to Zezhou to garrison, and in the territory of Liang State, a large number of military facilities have been built along the road, and it looks like I am going to fight against our army for a long time." β
Chen Qiuming nodded when he heard this, and said: "Yang Shihou is worthy of being a veteran, if he dares to act rashly, he may not have no chance to get rid of these 60,000 troops, but he can't hold on, and he can't help it for a while." Anyway, your father wants to send an envoy to Zhu Wen to make peace, and leave him alone for the time being, just let the wolf ride to keep an eye on him. β
"How are the preparations of Jinguo Normal University, Business School, and Engineering College? These three faculties are our talent pool, both educational institutions and scientific research institutions, which should not be underestimated. β
Li Cunmiao has gradually adapted to the various fresh words in Chen Qiuming's mouth, and replied: "It is all in preparation according to what you said, and it will almost be officially launched after the Spring Festival." β
Chen Qiuming nodded, took out a written reform plan, handed it to Li Cunmiao, and said: "The first major thing is land reform, the Jin country is vast and sparsely populated, and it is just the right time to implement land reform. β
"My land reform plan is similar to the 'equal-land system' in the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, in that land is distributed according to capitation, but the difference is that land and mines must be owned by the state, and individuals only have the right to use, not ownership, and must also pay taxes according to the acres of land, and individuals are prohibited from trading land."
Li Cunmiao was puzzled: "Now that the land is all in private hands, if we take it back, then not all the people below will rebel, not to mention that a lot of land is rewarded to meritorious generals." β
Chen Qiuming said: "Of course, it is not for nothing, but replacement, and those things that can be replaced are listed above, such as mining rights, reservoir contracting rights, and even shops, stalls, commercial tax exemption policies in the city, and so on." β
"In addition, in order to encourage the reclamation of wasteland, whoever cultivates the wasteland can cultivate it tax-free for five years. Of course, after the land is collected, it cannot be fully divided, part of it is reserved for military reclamation, and the other part can also be rewarded for meritorious officials in the future. β
"In this way, although the land is state-owned, as long as there are people, there must be land to plant, except for a small amount of taxes, more than enough to support themselves. As for the opposition voices, most of them are concentrated among the officials and gentry, if they are willing to obey, they can also be replaced with corresponding benefits, and there is no shortage of land in the family. β
"Of course, the corresponding policy propaganda means must also be followed up, and your intelligence network must also be followed up in time to prevent people from rioting in tandem, but it can be assured that ordinary people will definitely not follow the chaos, and every household has a field to plant, who will follow to find death?"
After relieving himself, Chen Qiuming said: "The second reform is administrative reform, first of all, the separation of military and political affairs, civilian officials are in charge of government affairs, and military officers are in charge of military affairs. β
Seeing this, Li Cunmiao pointed to the plan and asked: "Taking Luzhou as an example, if there is an enemy attacking, who will you listen to?" β
Chen Qiuming replied: "Listen to the military attache in war, listen to civilian officials in political affairs, if there is a war, like the responsibility of retreating from the enemy and defending the city, it must be the military attachΓ©'s, and things such as organizing the people, appeasing public opinion, patrolling the streets and arresting must be civilian officials, cooperate with each other, and have clear responsibilities. Of course, in some extremely special places and special periods, it is possible to set up temporary festivals to make the military and government shoulder the shoulders, but once the time passes, the festival degrees must be revoked to prevent the tail from falling out. Second, it is necessary to gradually improve various laws and regulations to prevent corruption. β
"In addition, on the basis of the original administrative organs, each county has added four yamen, namely, the Supervision Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and the Taxation Bureau, and each prefecture and county has set up corresponding departments, and the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Ministry of Taxation have been set up throughout the country. For the time being, the imperial examination will still be under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and in the future, after the popularization of new education, it will be returned to the Ministry of Education and gradually replace the imperial examination with the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. β
"The third reform is industrial and commercial, and the first thing to change is the currency system, the establishment of state-owned banks, and the minting of three kinds of coins, gold, silver, and copper, each with three denominations; The Royal Comptoir was set up to specialize in profiteering industries such as winemaking, textiles, construction, clothing, catering, transportation, and mining. In addition, it is necessary to vigorously encourage industry and commerce, and after attacking eastward in the future and occupying seaside ports, it is necessary to build a navy and vigorously develop maritime trade......"
"This plan is the first draft I wrote, and I will take it out for discussion today, and the next step is to convene officials and gentry at all levels to conduct arguments, and then promulgate and implement them when the arguments are over. Today, I will write to invite my fellow disciples of the Holy Gate Heavenly Lotus Sect to come to Luzhou for development, and with them, we can buy grain from all over the country. β
Li Cunmiao still had a lot of things to understand about this plan, and began to discuss with Chen Qiuming word by word, and he was a little embarrassed to sit on the side, and his mood was a little complicated.
To tell the truth, when she first fell into the hands of Chen Qiuming, she was very desperate in her heart, and the only sustenance was that Xiao Dilu could save her, but by mistake, Xiao Dilu only saved Yelu Zongbao, at that moment, Wuzhi was really lost!
To be honest, Xiao Dilu didn't have any opinions on Wuji, he just didn't pay enough attention to it, the most important thing is that Xiao Dilu didn't expect that Chen Qiuming was not won within half a burnt incense, so that in addition to being desperate, he had a strange emotion towards Xiao Dilu and even on the North Gate.
