The New Deal of God Bless has put the world's scholars in a boil, and this is what they want.

However, the powerful in the county are naturally unwilling, and it can even be said that they have changed color, and they are directly denounced as "tyranny" and "evil law".

Some people who couldn't hold their breath even directly called Wang Mang "a traitor who caused chaos in the world, and should be killed to thank the world." ”

Luo Qi did her best to start restoring the land grant system in the traditional six counties of Guanzhong, hoping to start re-granting land from Guanzhong first.

Because the strength of the Guanzhong royal family is still extremely strong, especially the army loyal to the royal family is stationed, which can effectively quell the rebellion.

But this is not the case at all in Kanto, where the situation can simply be described as a mess.

As the edict was issued to the counties and kingdoms, the reactions of all parties varied.

The officials in Donghai County are worried about this edict, and if they don't implement it, the court will definitely be held accountable, and if it is implemented, how can this be implemented?

The number of officials in the Han Dynasty was very small, or there were not many officials in the ancient dynasties, not because they were unwilling to have more, but because the imperial court could not afford to support them.

In particular, as the population gradually increases, the number of officials needed will increase, but the finances will gradually deteriorate as the dynasty lasts for time, and this two-way deterioration will cause any ancient dynasty to lose control of the grassroots.

Any delegation of power is an act of necessity and a compromise that cannot be compromised.

Without the support of the powerful clans below, they would not even be able to go down to the county and township, let alone confiscate the land of these powerful people.

"The imperial court has always asked me to clear the land and take back the country, but how can I go to clear the land, how can I take it back?

The other side is to do things for us, this is to hand the knife to their hands, let them commit suicide, do you guess the other side will directly hold the knife to kill? ”

In the end, I could only ask the county magistrate Cui Yi, the county guard of 2,000 stones, who was the master of everything in the county.

"Shangguan, what should I do with the edict of the imperial court?"

Facing everyone's sad faces, Cui Yi sat upright calmly and said indifferently: "What else can I do?"

We are loyal servants of the imperial court, so we naturally have to carry out the orders of the imperial court to the letter, and besides, the great monarch, his character is like a saint, can there be mistakes? ”

Hearing Cui Yi's words, everyone in the room looked at each other a few times, and there was some surprise in their eyes, this is not the same Cui Yi they know.

Cui Yi continued to say aloud as if he hadn't seen the expressions of these people: "Pass the order, let the county officials move, don't slack off."

Strictly implement the Wangtian system, and confiscate the land deeds of the whole county, whether it is those who are powerful or the people, door by door, all of them are confiscated.

The official knew that there was a shortage of manpower in the county, so he first recruited those students from the county on a temporary basis.

After the land is confiscated, the official must distribute it impartially, so that every common person can get a fair and just share of the land.

There is also a court decree that it is necessary for officials, rich families, and wealthy families to be more frugal, and the wealthy families have big fish and meat, but the people are hungry, which is not what the sages expected.

This official is also deeply saddened by this.

The court said that the reason why this was the case was because the powerful businessmen made profits from buying and selling, so that the people could not bear their burdens, and a little money could not be satisfied, so they strengthened the equalization and equalization of the division, and the court unified the sale and purchase to ensure the food and clothing of the people.

The order was sent down, and the grain, cloth and other items in the county were confiscated and distributed by the government.

Well.

Leave a percent of food for the people in the county, after all, it may take some time to deploy, and there must be no shortage of food for the people.

There is also a decree abolishing slaves and maids, which is really the work of the sages!

Immediately notify all the big clans in the county, let them let those slaves and maids be free, the Han rule the world with filial piety, and the old people over seventy, even if they are commoners, do not need to kneel when they see Your Majesty.

How many slaves and maids who are over fifty years old in the big clan are still selling their bodies, and first release these people and let them live in their old age and enjoy the joy of family, which is in line with the way of filial piety of my Han Dynasty.

The merits of the imperial court should be known to the people of the world, and the official is very worried that because of some trivial hardships, the merits of His Majesty and the great monarch have been damaged.

When you go down to do business, you must say to those people and wealthy families that this is all the grace of the court and the merit of the great monarch!

This official will never dare to be greedy for merit! ”

Cui Yi's words fell, the hall was silent, everyone didn't even dare to breathe, he frowned when he saw this, and said awe-inspiringly: "What are you still doing here?"

Does the great cause of the imperial court dare to push back and obstruct it?

Finish it as soon as possible, the court is still waiting to see the results of this official!

When you go down to do things, keep a clear record of how much land you have confiscated and distributed, how much success you have achieved in equalizing the loss and leveling, and how many slaves and maids you have released, all of which have been recorded by the official! ”

All the people in this palace woke up like a dream, and they were only in deep awe of this county guard, and they all bowed down and said, "Oh! ”

When everyone retreated, Cui Yi slowly took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "For the government and the people, the way of the sages." ”

There are many counties in Dahan County, the situation is different, some county guards are completely dependent on the local wealthy family to be able to sit in a stable position, the relationship between the two sides is mutually beneficial, it is reasonable, this kind of county guard is naturally impossible to do to the wealthy family.

In the face of the imperial decree, these county guards did not dare to do nothing, after all, there were embroidered clothes, stabbing history, and inspectors who would appear between the counties and the state at any time.

So it soon evolved into the government taking advantage of this decree to forcibly seize the land of the people, asking for redistribution.

When asked why it has not yet been distributed, the answer is that the land has not yet been fully collected, and the conditions for distribution are not yet available, so it is good to wait patiently.

But soon the confiscated good land was cultivated by tenants of the wealthy clans.

The most ruthless thing is not the direct seizure of land, but the seizure of grain, which is simply forcing the people to a dead end.

The countryside was completely blown up, and almost instantly a bloody conflict was formed, and the flames of the uprising were ignited in an instant.

In the county governance, Cui Yi looked at the results of this period of time, and he was simply happy, and his political achievements were definitely among the best among the county guards.

also took this opportunity to reap the best land, and the allocated knives were here, and it was not too much to draw the largest piece for himself, right?

He didn't have the courage to really change the law and turn his face with the big clans in the county.

He didn't want to be on the streets one day when an arrow suddenly came from the shadows.

But he has the courage to make money in the name of changing the law, and he can directly dump the pot at the court.

"I'm doing this by order!"

Cui Yi was thinking beautifully, as for the so-called Datong ruling the world, he would probably believe it when he was young, just like those stupid scholars.

"County guard, there are thieves rebelling in many places in the county, tens of thousands of people have gathered in a short period of time, and the flames are monstrous, what can I do?

Do you want to report to the imperial court? ”

A trace of panic flashed in Cui Yi's eyes, it must not be possible to report to the imperial court, and now that he has just started to change the law, he has made such a big thing, doesn't it seem that he is very incapable?

How will he be promoted after that?

It is only easy to suppress some displaced people by armed forces, and compared with the imperial court and the big clans, the combat effectiveness of these ordinary displaced people is too weak.

So he immediately said angrily: "These thieves, today's saints rule the world, rain down, do not want to repay the country and loyalty, but instead rebelled, and quickly sent the county soldiers to suppress it." ”

When the envoy walked out, Cui Yi paced and muttered, and then said to his cronies: "You can't waste these lives, this matter still has to be reported to the imperial court."

Let's just say that there are treacherous thieves who are unwilling to cooperate with the change of the law, and even conspire to rebel, and now it has been suppressed.

The reform of the law in the county is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the ministers will certainly do their best to implement the reform, so that His Majesty's holy grace will reach every corner between the county and county, and every common person will be grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and will certainly live up to His Majesty's holy grace.

Bring more gifts to the people around the general, gold and silver, jade, beauty, some time ago, didn't a businessman send the beauty of Wu for the official?

Brought to Chang'an and said good things for the official, the official didn't believe it, the general himself is a saint, are all the people around him still saints?

and those eunuchs in the palace, all of whom sent a gift to their officials. ”

After hearing this, his cronies left the court, Cui Yi thought about it for a while, and still felt a little unstable, and then thought of the Empress Dowager's Zhao family, pursed his lips and said contemptuously: "A family that suddenly rises because of women must be a group of nouveau riche, as long as I flatter it a little, I can play with it in the palm of my hand." ”

Psychological contempt, but action is very important.

After all, it was the Queen Mother.

Although it is always said that power comes from below, it is from a macro point of view, in a stable society, the position is naturally accompanied by unlimited power.

Even Luo's took the Queen Mother's marriage request seriously, Cui Yi, who was considered a high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty, was a grasshopper that would be crushed to death in front of the Queen Mother.

It's not worth mentioning.

Cui Yi may have the ability to do things, but he is unwilling to do it, because he doesn't need to, he just needs to write beautifully, and then use the benefits to bribe all those who supervise, and if he doesn't want to accept it, he will take it away or die in an accident.

From a county order to a county guard, everything is done like this, and there is no mistake.

"This is the way of the world!"

Cui Yi twisted his beard and smiled, with infinite coldness, and wrote on the paper, "Chen Yi asked Her Majesty the Queen Mother to ...... well"

————

And the law passes through the county, the evil officials in the county are fierce, afraid of the wealthy clan and the evil people, the more urgent it is, the deeper the invasion, the rich have no place to stand, the rich have lipid worms, the poor have no food, the official office is broken, the five goods are collected and lost equally, and a foot of cloth is not available, the people are unbearable, so they rise up and move forward. ——"Hanshu Food and Goods"
