What kind of three-long system has aroused the outpouring of public sentiment and righteous indignation among the officials on the high platform?

can be expressed by Deng Ai in a special document, which shows that the introduction of the three-long system is not simple.

And under that detailed introduction, the officials who were full of poetry and books on the high platform quickly understood what the three-long system was.

In essence, Deng Ai's three-long system is a transformation of the local grassroots administrative organization in the Han Dynasty.

Originally, the local grassroots administrative organization of Dahan was centered on the township.

For this point, it is recorded in detail in the Book of Han:

“... The large rate is ten miles and a pavilion, and the pavilion is long; Ten pavilions and one township, the township has three elders, ranks, husbands, and wanderers.

The three elders are in charge of education; Hearing lawsuits and collecting taxes; Wander around and forbid thieves. ”

From this record, it can be seen that the local administrative organization at the lower level of the county in the Han Dynasty was the township.

Since the economy of ancient times was not as developed as in later generations, such a relatively simple local administrative system was in line with the national conditions of the world.

Otherwise, the big man would not be so powerful.

It's just that any system will have great drawbacks over time.

The biggest drawback of this system lies in the word "three olds."

Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty once issued a decree:

"The people are more than 50 years old, have practice, can be handsome and good, and think that they are three elders and one township.

Choose one of the three elders of the township as the three elders of the county, and teach each other with the county order, Cheng, and Wei, and do not fight again. Wine and meat in October. ”

Under Liu Bang's edict, the "Three Elders", the predecessors of the local Haoqiang, began to occupy an important position in the local political system of the Han Dynasty.

In addition to age, there is also a very important reason for the Han Dynasty's requirements for the selection of the "three elders", that is, "those who can lead the crowd".

In order to do this in a clan society like China, it is not enough to rely on individual virtues, they must be recognized by the clan forces.

Under the historical conditions at that time, most of the "three elders" who met such requirements were nobles left over from the Six Kingdoms.

This can also be confirmed from various records of the Han Dynasty, where the "three elders" were not only very influential in the local area, but also often directly participated in the discussion of national affairs, and even directly wrote to the Son of Heaven.

The "three elders" with such insight and ability can never be ordinary people.

In ancient times, knowledge was the most expensive resource.

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Bang not to see this.

However, it was precisely when he saw this that he resolutely continued to advocate the "three elders" system.

Because the newly established Han was dilapidated and turbulent at that time, he needed to give considerable political privileges to the "three elders" in these places in exchange for their sense of identity with the Han.

Judging from the various events that happened later, Liu Bang's goal was perfectly achieved.

It's just that in any dynasty and in any period, local administration is the key to stabilizing the country.

With the development of the "three elders" system over time, his power has also expanded indefinitely.

Due to the special political status of the "three elders" in the Han Dynasty, the "three elders" could influence the public opinion of the township party, and often played a key role in the inspection and promotion of the "township election".

At the same time, Sanlao is also an important organization for formulating local laws and regulations, and it is also an educational organization for publicizing national policies and regulations.

Even later, even the promulgation and implementation of the policies and decrees of the local government of Dahan had to consult the three elders.

The most important thing is that the "three elders" are not directly appointed by the government, but are often elected by the local government spontaneously.

This point directly led to the "three elders" slowly evolving into the attributes of local heroes.

Because everyone is selfish.

Since the government does not interfere in the election of the "three elders", coupled with the coveted influence of the "three elders" at the local level.

How could those "three elders" not want to pass on this position to their descendants?

After two generations, it is not surprising that the local heroes who are well known to later generations have appeared.

It is precisely because most of the predecessors of the local heroes are the "three elders" that they have so much influence in their hometowns.

Because of this strong influence in the local area, many county orders directly appointed by the Han court, and even Taishou, did not dare to resist the local wealthy families.

In order to keep their official positions and even their lives, they slowly became in league with the local wealthy families.

This is the Han Dynasty period "imperial power does not go to the countryside".

With the imperial power not going to the countryside, a large number of land annexations and shading the population began to become rampant.

Countless fertile fields have been encroached upon, and countless good citizens have been forced to become domestic slaves of local wealthy families in order to make a living.

And the population and acres are the foundation of any feudal dynasty.

When these two are fundamentally lost, it will only lead to the weakening of the national strength of the Han Dynasty, while the power of the local heroes is getting stronger and stronger.

Coupled with their political influence in the officialdom, they have the courage to stand up to the central government and rebel.

Mi Yang knew this, and most of the officials present knew it.

But in the past, no one dared to pierce this layer of window paper, but now Deng Ai is going to pierce this layer of window paper.

Although the three-long system sounds similar to the three-elder system, its content is set up in response to the implicit privileges of the three-elder system.

What are the three chiefs?

That is, in Deng Ai's vision, the five families in Liangzhou will be neighbors in the future, and one neighbor will be set up;

Five neighbors are li, and one mile long;

Wuli is the party, and there is a party leader.

This is for the three longs.

The scope of authority and responsibility of the three chiefs is: checking household registration, supervising farming, collecting rents, and levying and issuing conscription and military service.

It is precisely because of this kind of responsibility that the three chiefs that Deng Ai wants to set up have this kind of responsibility, and most of the officials on the high platform have fried the pot.

Many of those who could become officials in the Han Dynasty were from local wealthy families.

Of course they know what their ancestors have been doing.

After all, they can become officials now, relying on the things that their ancestors have done for generations.

Once the three-long system is implemented, will it be beneficial to Liangzhou?

There must be that, anyone will know it by thinking about it with their head.

Once the three-long system is successfully implemented in Liangzhou, then a large number of acres and populations will definitely be inventoried.

At that time, Liangzhou's national strength will definitely be greatly enhanced.

It's just that once the three-long system is successfully implemented, it means that their family will no longer be able to shade the population and annex fertile land as usual.

This is a major blow to the family forces, and it is also a huge infringement on their existing interests.

The officials who were originally sitting thought that Deng Ai wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity for the whole country to celebrate to casually offer a strategy to please Mi Yang.

As a result, I didn't expect that Deng Ai was trying to please Mi Yang, this was obviously trying to seize their interests!

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

No one can remain calm when interests are violated.

So just after Deng Ai finished expressing the content of the three-long system, one of the officials on the high platform immediately stood up and scolded Deng Ai.

This person's name is Xiao Pu, and he is the contemporary patriarch of the Xiao clan in Weiyang.

It is the richest county in Hanzhong County except for Nanzheng, and the Xiao family of Canyang is rumored to be a descendant of Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Although this is only a rumor, it does not prevent Chip's ancestors from using this rumor for their own benefit.

The Xiao clan has been rooted in Hanzhong for hundreds of years, and in these hundreds of years, the Xiao clan has developed into a powerful family in Hanzhong County.

At the beginning, Mi Yang was under the influence of the Xiao clan in Weiyang, and in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the Han Dynasty, he recruited Xiao Pu as his meritorious cao.

Although Gong Cao is not engaged, Xiao Pu's real power is not small at all, and his status is not much different from that of the third engagement.

That's why at this time, Xiao Pu dared to assert his identity and came out to scold Deng Ai, who was one of the three engaged in work and had a low background.

Xiao Pu would come out and scold Deng Ai, not only because he felt that the three-long system would be greatly harmed on his own interests, but also because he had a fear in his heart.

The Han Dynasty practiced the Mingtian system.

Although the name of the field system is different from the Qin Dynasty's military merit system, the essence is the same.

That is, what kind of title you have, you have a corresponding amount of acres and servants.

If someone does not match the name, it is undoubtedly a violation of the Han law.

Xiao Pu knew that in the past 100 years, his family had covered thousands of people, and annexed thousands of acres.

But he didn't have any title at his head now.

Under this strong gap that does not match the name, once those three elders find out about this matter, his entire family may suffer because of it.

The three-long system not only greatly infringes on the interests of his family, but also threatens the survival of his family, and it is impossible for him not to come out and prevent the implementation of the three-long system.

I saw Xiao Pu get up and shout at Deng Ai: "The Han family has its own three-elder system, how can you change it as a minister?"

As the chief secretary of Liangzhou, you don't offer good ideas to the shepherd to stabilize the people's livelihood.

Now you still want to bewitch the shepherd to bear the name of disloyalty, you can be punished! ”

As soon as Xiao Pu exited, a big hat was buckled towards Deng Ai.

When he angrily scolded Deng Ai, his eyes widened angrily, and he looked like a minister who was loyal to the Lord.

But in the face of Xiao Pu's performance of "loyal protector", Mi Yang showed an interesting look on his face.

He found Shaw's reasons for refuting Deng Ai hilarious.

It's just that Xiao Pu can't be blamed for this, it is really a system of the three-long system, which is a good system for the benefit of the country and the people in every aspect.

Even if he wanted to prevent the implementation of the three-long system, it was impossible for him to open his eyes and tell nonsense.

In this case, he can only come up with this reason to refute Deng Ai.

If the content is flawless, then I will nominally make it impossible for you to carry it out.

There is also a great benefit to choosing this reason.

Xiao Pu knew that Deng Ai was Mi Yang's henchman, and he even guessed that Deng Ai had this suggestion today, perhaps because of Mi Yang's instructions behind it.

It's just that Mi Yang didn't choose to end up in person, which shows that he still has some concerns about the implementation of the three-long system in his heart.

Then his task now is to find a concern that Mi Yang can't ignore, so that he can't implement the three-long system.

Xiao Pu thought that the reason he was looking for was enough to make Mi Yang's concerns expand infinitely.

After all, the local political system dominated by the three elders is a system that has been practiced by the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

For four hundred years, the emperor of the Han family did not dare to change this.

What's more, Mi Yang?

Mi Yang is their master, but in the same way, he is also Liu Bei's minister.

When Xiao Pu refuted Deng Ai, before Deng Ai could plead, he saw that most of the officials on the high platform who had found the backbone of the backbone immediately got up with Xiao Pu and scolded Deng Ai angrily.

At first, they may have refuted Deng Ai on Shaw's reasoning.

However, as more and more officials joined, while the people on the high platform were buzzing, there were also some personal attacks on Deng Ai.

Deng Ai's background in the world is a point of attack that can never be bypassed, not to mention that he still has an unchangeable physical disability.

Just when those unbearable remarks intensified, and those who attacked Deng Ai wanted to hit Deng Ai's heart with such remarks.

Listening to the refuting and humiliating voices coming from all directions, Deng Ai did not flinch as ordinary people imagined.

"People often can't make their own decisions. But people can get a better future through hard work.

Shizai, I want you to go down in history with me tomorrow. ”

This is what Mi Yang said to him last night when he handed the paperwork into his hands.

Deng Ai, who thought of this, tightly held the paperwork in his hand.

If the three-long system, which benefits the country and the people, can be implemented under his advice, then in the future, he Deng Ai will be able to carry a hundred reputations in the history of the Japanese Qingshu!

Isn't that what he's always wanted?

Deng Ai took a deep breath.

He looked at the "loyal ministers of Liangzhou" who were constantly attacking him, he did not choose to retreat, he strode towards Xiao Pu under the siege of everyone.

Deng Ai's extremely offensive step not only startled Xiao Pu, but even the other ministers who were besieging Deng Ai saw that Deng Ai did not retreat but advanced, and their reprimands were also shocked.

】

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Deng Ai instead shouted at Xiao Puli:

"Where has the three-long system changed the three-old system, can Xiao Gongcao say it clearly."

Although Deng Ai has a stammer, as long as he is not a tirade, then his stuttering is not obvious.

Moreover, Deng Ai had personally killed the enemy, so he had a bad aura on him.

When the loud shouts with evil spirit continued to echo on the high platform, the figures of those officials took a step back slightly.

There is a very important reason why many officials have behaved like this, that is, they can't refute what Deng Ai said.

In fact, once the three-long system is implemented, it will certainly make it extremely difficult for local tyrants to overshadow the population and annex acres in the future.

But could it be that Liu Bang gave the three elders this kind of power back then?

Not really.

The princes and kings who do this without authorization will be punished by the Han law, not to mention the three elders.

This power cannot see the light, and once it sees the light, Mi Yang will have even more reason to attack them.

Since the Emperor of the Han family has never given the three elders this kind of power, then if this power is handed over to the three elders in the future, where will the three elders be changed?

Deng Ai's rhetorical question made all the officials on the high platform speechless.

Self-destructing?

None of those present had the courage.

Just after Deng Ai briefly suppressed Xiao Pu and dozens of other ministers, Fa Miao and other Mi Yang's descendants saw that the time was ripe.

They all got up from their seats and stood behind the man who had made the first voice in the world for the three-long system.

"The three-long system offered by the main book is beneficial to the country and the people, and the ministers ask the shepherd to implement it."

Since we are here to dig the roots today, we must strike while the iron is hot!
