Volume 1 World Focus New Oriental Chapter 005 The First Decentralization Conference of the Dai County Government: Treat Everyone Together
The crowd in the hall fell into deep thought. Sure enough, the move was the right one.
When you are faced with a dilemma, you may as well push your colleagues to make a bigger dilemma and forcibly bind each other's fates. Obviously, Zhao Congjian thought about it this way. In the course of the deliberations so far, he has perfectly demonstrated the cohesion and overall view that a lord should have, which is of course because the soul belongs to the modern single young man, and he can remain calm and wait for the opportunity for a long time at the grassroots level, especially in adversity, and will naturally be forced to temper the tendency to unite everyone as much as possible, so as to seek 'personal interests'.
Historically, since the fall of Taiyuan County, the Hu people's territory on the northern border has been barely connected with the plains east of the Taihang Mountains and north of the Yellow River, which was occupied by the Zhao State, through the Taihang Trails in the area of Dai County and Yanmen County. The existence of two or more distinctly different forms of production in the same country was solved by the Qing Dynasty in the later years, and almost in the most perfect way that a feudal society could produce; When it comes to maintaining long-term harmonious coexistence among multiple ethnic groups, even the Western Zhou Dynasty is not a perfect model; Only the military reform of the Hufu cavalry and archery of King Wuling may have benefited from the frequent foreign wars in the Warring States Period, which constantly beaten, restricted and solved internal hidden dangers, so as to successfully unite the unity and unity of the country, but this set or named "the country cannot be idle for a day" national policy strategy, can maintain a century of efficient operation, itself is a very successful model - you must know that in ancient times, the vast majority of countries faced long-term intrusion from foreign wars.
Looking at the problem from the side, this 'advantage' is complementary to the reasons why Zhao Guo never implemented a complete national political reform: Hu Hua was a martial artist, the concept of the first army was promoted in the whole society, and the nepotism within the government with a strong military color would be prominently manifested in the children of the clan. The mainstream ideological level of society is systematically occupied by the soldiers, and only the people of the Yin-Yang family who are beneficial to diplomacy can eat some leftovers by the way, and the Zongheng family occasionally eats some soup and water from abroad; the rest of the people who are naturally rich in the output are only Lu Buwei, who is unwilling to be exploited in agriculture, opportunistic, and often leaks secrets abroad. In particular, the wealthy middle-class families with a certain right to speak and think critically followed the Mo family as their disciples, and formed a self-contradictory demand of unconditional obedience to the great man and the inability to embody the style of equality in deliberation within the organization under the slogan of 'love and non-aggression', which is anti-authoritarian and anti-unified. As for the powerful who are not good at management, they are naturally clinged to by the handicraft industry and the mining savvy businessmen who started in the military industry, the former shielding and conniving at the latter to form a monopoly business giant, and the latter continues to extend its tentacles to the major non-agricultural and animal husbandry production industries based on the circulation of commodities and goods.
Until the big merchant family cultivated a traitor like Guo Kai who wanted to sell the country for glory and protect the interests of the family's industrial operation, he did not hesitate to break with the country's monopoly forces and secretly draw boundaries, and then hindered the needs of the royal power to oppose the 'trust-style management' under the increasingly acute contradiction between the rich and the poor in society, colluded with all kinds of lobbying talents represented by the Mohists, and brazenly formed large and small social forces and groups in various production industries, carried out actions to overthrow the country, and indirectly protected their own interests- And a wise and strategic monarch like Yingzheng did not care about the existence of a giant merchant in the newly occupied area of the 'hometown of the Six Kingdoms' in the Kanto region who could effectively assist in the implementation of his ruling order in addition to paying regular taxes. This is also the objective reason why Mrs. Ba Qing and Wu Shilu can maintain a long-term deviation from the Qin legal system and sit on the land of the non-agricultural area of the Qin State in Guanxi and can sit on the monstrous wealth and power - not only indirectly supplementing the gaps in the social and economic operation of the agricultural economy, but also providing the royal family with the rapid requisition of material wealth at any time to maintain national use or luxury.
As for the generals and lieutenants who are represented by Lian Po and can openly consume social wealth because of their status as soldiers, they will naturally praise the unique natural and social conditions of Zhao State, and take pride in being able to command the whole arms of the infantry, cavalry, chariot, and boat divisions with rich and matching troops - no country has such an objective 'prosperous' foreign war frequency to facilitate the realization of their own ambitions, the famous sentence when he lived in Daliang City of Wei State after going to the wilderness: "I want to command the soldiers of Zhao State!" "Naturally, the true voice of the famous generals based on the long-term suffering of the ordinary people - the more difficult the times of the people, the more rampant the bullying of the enemy country will be, and the more good generals and warriors will be needed, and in order to raise war materials and human resources, the living standards of the people will also rise and fall with the victory or defeat of the war, so as to fall into the 'dead circle of kidnapping by militants', and the destruction of the Zhao State in the Handan period has become inevitable!
Compared with the legal system to strengthen Qin, according to the danger of mountains and rivers, the latter not only exploited the material exploitation of the people in a strict and strict but never wavering basic ration supply, but also was able to control the frequency and intensity of foreign wars relatively freely, and the difference between Zhao and its brother country Ying Qin was too much.
Zhao Congjian pondered for a long time, carrying a huge psychological burden, and slowly whispered to the speechless people: "At that time, we enjoyed the plains, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and we could collect money at any time to reward the Huxia Military Academy and ensure the living materials of the border areas, but now that the land under the Taihang Mountain is lost and there is nothing to be scavenged, how can the hearts of the people in the border county be cohesive?" And what can be used to ensure that the people of Rong Di continue to serve? He deliberately paused, looked at the hall and no one had anything to say, and continued, "Therefore, the widow is not good, and I specially invite the children of the clan to send envoys to Linhu, Lou Fan, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and other 'Erhu and three counties in the north' to supervise the local county officials and people, and are determined to implement the national policy, stabilize the frontier, and share weal and woe with my Zhao people!" ”
As soon as the words fell, four people flashed outside the door, and the last one even almost knocked down the rest of the people because of his too big pace. Everyone had no time to reply, and looked out the door, and some ministers even sneered and hummed when they saw that the local foreign officials were so ugly - it was the acting county guard who had been deliberately despised before who was quickly summoned.
"Minister Zhao Hao has been ordered to bring the officials of the three positions of county guard, lieutenant, and cheng to the meeting."
Zhao Congjian was a little strange as to why they came so quickly, but when he thought of the modern story of Cixi's western hunt, the important ministers filled the city and supervised the offices of large institutions such as the Yamen, and naturally thought: I slept on the county guard's mansion!
What an appalling thing! If they hadn't deliberately summoned the auxiliary officials on behalf of the landlord, they would have been plotted to murder them and send them to Xianyang with a grudge! Even if you count the guests, women and children who came to Daidi, you can't get together tens of thousands of people, right? What's more, the decapitation operation does not require so many ambushes, only a few swordsmen are needed to assassinate them, which is enough.
Thinking of this, Zhao Congjian's eyes looked at the eunuch Ling on the side, and just when their eyes met, the two of them had a clear understanding, and the latter sang tacitly: "Xuan's foreign ministers meet the king!" ”
This forced remark suddenly made the monarchs and ministers in the hall blush: My generation is a dog who fled and lost his family! The ministers who knew it straightened their waists one after another, deliberately cheering for the honor of the royal court and their own status. I saw that only Zhao Xu, who was in the right seat, returned to his place, and no additional seats were prepared in advance in the hall, which embarrassed the three officials who entered the door. In a matter of seconds, I saw that the acting county lieutenant who seemed to have an old relationship with the clan looked at each other and lined up on the left, and he wanted to face Zhao Congjian directly and kneel on the wooden floor! Fortunately, he was repelled by the stern gaze of the county guard, and he knelt without kneeling, and he was full of hesitation.
The military governor of the dignified border county was so humble when facing the nobles of Handan, which made Zhao Congjian instantly relieved: This generation of land is still surnamed Zhao!
At this time, the county guard boldly asked: "Please give the king a seat!" There was a clear mixture of dissatisfaction and disdain for the abilities of the capital's aristocracy. Zhao Congjian didn't allow the eunuch to pass the word anymore, the hall was not grand, and he still comforted him personally: "I ordered the eunuch to take three seats from the side hall, and the slaves should not be allowed to go back and forth to the main hall, knowing that my monarch and ministers have secret talks!" ”
Miao Fengnian was stunned for a moment, he was going to send himself to act! However, for the first time, it was not a bad thing to clearly announce his latest official position, but the three officials and foreign ministers were made up with respect. Before going out, Miao Fengnian deliberately glared at the county guard, who obviously understood: If he hadn't forced himself to preserve his dignity, he would not have just come to meet the new monarch and made a bond with the new eunuch Ling, blaming himself for being reckless.
The county guard, whose face was the color of soy sauce, still stood facing Zhao Congjian, and the process of his resentment to embarrassment was observed by the king. And in the moment when Miao Fengnian returned to the hall, the two columns of people on the left and right all frowned at Zhao Congjian's move to appoint the chief of eunuchs in advance, and the presence of the three officials of the acting county made them deeply worried about their future: Who knows if they will get a satisfactory position in the future? If you are sorry for the arduous journey to the north, who should you tell about this debt? Among them, the 'conspirators' on the second seat on the left are the most worried: seeing that Miao Fengnian is gaining power, he is worried that the words of mourning King Xiang's father and son are faint and fornicating with Miao's family will also become thunder with the revival of Zhao in the future, and the giant hammer that the sky is falling will be smashed against him one day, that is the sin of the clan - on behalf of the land, on behalf of the land, I am afraid that it will be a trip in vain! At the meeting that day, there was no follow-up to the sect's excessive speech. To be honest, apart from the desperate clamor in the side hall, this sect member didn't say anything for the rest of the day. Only Miao Fengnian paid attention to this anomaly—perhaps since then, the motives of various clans have been well understood, and the fate of the members of this special group who have been punished by the upper class has been decided in the palm of Miao's fingers.
The silence was boundless, just like the sense of oppression brought by the ample strong array of black pressure when the Qin army repeatedly attacked.
The eunuch Ling walked in and planned to spread the mat in front of the three of them, but Zhao Congjian signaled to put it on the left side of the small number of people, near the left wall. This subtle approach broke the pattern of five on the left and seven on the right in an instant, and no one could guess what kind of topic the sovereign was going to bring the meeting to...... On the contrary, Yu Boyan, the right chief minister, who noticed that there was a trend of reviving military power, disregarded decency, and quickly bowed to the key point that should have been mentioned at the meeting: "Since the king has planned to inherit the throne, and the acting county magistrate has also arrived according to the order, please quickly determine the position of the imperial court, so that the new policy can be implemented as soon as possible and the country and society can be settled!" ”
What about the sacrifice to the old king? was shelved and ignored. At this time, the people in the left and right columns are gearing up for a new round of attack, if they can't be pacified, it is not impossible for the hall to fight in a group. When that scene happens, the surrogate guards and others will have a glimpse of the flaws of the princes' weakness and aggressiveness...... But I really don't know much about the official positions other than the Qin State in history, but I only vaguely know that the six countries of Kwantung are similar to the Zhou rite official system, except for the Chu State, which is not subject to the Zhou Dynasty and has its own system. Especially in the Three Jin Dynasty, the country was established the latest, and under the influence of the Jin State, which had been dead for a long time, there were few changes in the official position of the secretary and non-commissioned officer. Among them, the state of Zhao, which lacked extensive social reforms, was the most, or it was inseparable from the last orthodoxy of Zhou Li, the state of Zhaogong, in the classical inheritance of official positions. But when it comes to the names of the three princes and six secretaries, I really can't say all the specific official titles and detailed charges, how can this be good? If the stuffing is revealed, most of the ministers' respect for themselves will be lost!
Zhao Congjian once again felt the crisis of the upper-level meeting. Fortunately, at this time, the summoned person who was a little reckless was 'reckless' again and relieved him in time.
