Chapter 454: Xiangguo and Liu Jian, the next important matter

When Dong Zhuo said this to Liu Jian, although he was laughing loudly, the anger in his heart had reached the extreme.

Don't blame Dong Zhuo for being angry, Liu Jian opened his mouth and asked Dong Zhuo for the right to govern a state, how do you let Dong Zhuo not be angry in his heart?

Dong Zhuo's annoyance was expected by Liu Jian, he picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Xiangguo, you have forgotten, now in Dahan, I am the only one who can implement the imperial examination system in the local area...... No matter how loud Xiangguo shouted in Chang'an and Guanzhong, but no one in the Kanto region was willing to give Xiangguo face, didn't Xiangguo feel that this was a sign of chaos? ”

"And I, General Zuo and Champion Hou Liu Jian, and the states and counties under my jurisdiction are strictly in accordance with Xiangguo's decrees, does Xiangguo know what this represents?"

Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes: "What does it represent?" ”

"It means that if I have more states and counties under my jurisdiction, the more people I can manage, the more they will be able to abide by the policies promulgated by the imperial court, and I think this will also be useful for Xiangguo to consolidate itself in the court, right?"

"Hebei is now the richest territory of the Han Dynasty, and in addition to the scholars who went to the south, many people are now moving north, and Hebei accounts for one of them! If the people of Hebei can fully support Xiangguo's various decrees, even if the rest of the states and counties do not respond, the impact on Xiangguo in the DPRK will not be too big. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, not only did he not feel a little relieved, but he felt a little toothache.

He rubbed his cheeks and said angrily: "You have been left alone with all the good and bad words, and you originally proposed the new deal!" ”

As soon as these words were finished, the ten generals present were all taken aback.

Liu Jian proposed the new deal to Dong Zhuo, and few people on the two sides knew about it, even if these ten generals were the descendants of Dong and Liu!

Among these ten people, only Zhang Fei knew about it.

Liu Jian drank tea, stared at Dong Zhuo with blazing eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't understand what Xiangguo meant. ”

Dong Zhuo almost gushed out of his chest with a mouthful of old blood.

This kid doesn't admit it!

"Xiangguo, when it comes to the new deal, the last official has something to report to Xiangguo."

"Originally, I was going to draft a recital and submit it to Shangshutai and Xiangfu, but I didn't expect the war in Sizhou to break out urgently, so it was delayed."

Dong Zhuo touched his beard, suppressed his anger and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Xiangguo for the imperial court, for the Han family, set up the imperial examination system, for the imperial court to recruit the world's heroes, and abandon the world's elite lords to monopolize the promotion channels, this is a move that has been passed down through the ages, so that the last officials are admired, but although the significance of the imperial examination is great, there are still some inappropriate points in the details, and it needs to be continuously improved."

"The last official wants to ask Xiangguo to listen to the improvement measures proposed by the last official after the implementation of the new policy in Hebei."

Since it is about the New Deal, Dong Zhuo naturally wants to listen to it.

The success of the New Deal is closely related to his political future, even if those high-ranking families have more prejudice and resentment against him, but as long as he Dong Zhuo can use the New Deal to change the face of the Han Dynasty, the middle and lower class people in the world will be grateful to him, and Dong Zhuo can still continue to fight against the Wang family and the well-dressed families.

Therefore, even if Dong Zhuo is angry again, Liu Jian's words at this moment, no matter what, Dong Zhuo will listen to it.

He pretended to say: "What is Deran's opinion of the new policy, although it is blunt. ”

"The way of the imperial examination, at this moment in Liu's view, is still incomplete, first of all, the subjects of the imperial examination are still based on scriptures, and there is no side learning mathematics, farming and medical care, according to the end of the official's view, the strange and skillful skills are also able to prosper the world, for the people's livelihood, the three teachings and nine streams are useful, not only focus on the scriptures and not pay attention to the practice, so that the imperial court finally recruited talents through the imperial examination are just some words on paper, boastful."

"National affairs, there are not so many people who understand, it is better to let most people spend their energy on improving people's livelihood."

Dong Zhuo understood that Liu Jian was using this to suggest to himself the next revision direction of the new policy.

"Okay, the old man will think about it."

"In addition, the imperial examination has been tried for a year, which is considered to be on the right path, Liu suggested to Xiangguo that the martial arts examination be opened, and an independent evaluation system for military attache positions should be established, and military talents should be recruited mainly with military talents.

Dong Zhuo's reaction was very fast, and after he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Obviously, the establishment of martial arts is another way to divide the resources for career promotion, and at the same time weaken the discourse power of the Jingxue gate valve in the Han Dynasty.

Including the addition of subjects proposed by Liu Jian, one is indeed conducive to the progress of the internal election system of the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, it also plays an important role in continuing to deepen and weaken the discourse power of scholars.

The most important thing is that the subjects examined by the Wuju people can completely bypass the scriptures and avoid the inherent system of the Han Dynasty in the past hundred years, when you go through the inspection system, you must know the scriptures!

In the future, if the warriors of Liangzhou or other states and counties want to be officials and participate in politics, they may not need to take the narrow road of military exploits and conquest!

Isn't it also good to follow the path of martial arts!

Who said that to be an official in the Han Dynasty, you must understand the scriptures?

"The way of scriptures", although it is a good thing, but it does not mean that these things are everything in human society, the Han Dynasty was too ruthless by the scriptures, everyone's eyes look at the scriptures, in the process of development, the scriptures have become a somewhat perverted existence in the eyes of the people of this era.

Things are good, but when a group of people are too sought after and mythologized, it becomes an obstacle to human development.

Behind Dong Zhuo, the five generals listened to what Liu Jian said, just like listening to the book of heaven, and they were all a little confused.

However, Dong Zhuo, who is the prime minister, still has some insight and thoughts, and he agrees with Liu Jian's next plan for the reform of the imperial examination

"Deran, since we met, I talked with you for a long time, and it was your remarks that made the old man feel the most comfortable......"

"Xiangguo, according to Xiangguo's previous letter to someone Liu, Xiangguo's new policy is divided into two parts, one is the imperial examination election law, and the other is the land tax reform, according to the last official, the land tax reform is more difficult to implement than the imperial examination, but once implemented, Xiangguo's status will be stable, and the Han Dynasty will also be completely changed because of this!"

"Therefore, Liu believes that at this time, Xiangguo must hand over the merger of states to me, so that I can implement land tax in Hebei without any constraints in accordance with the will of the imperial court and Xiangguo!"

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard Liu Jian's words on this matter again, his dissatisfaction was overflowing.

"Why did you talk about this again?"

"If you don't rule the whole of Hebei, what does it have to do with the New Land Deal?"

Liu Jian said: "Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and business is the skill of rejuvenating the country, but in my Han Dynasty, from the perspective of the country, agriculture and commerce have not been realized. ”

"Oral arithmetic is not the way of the king, if you want to put the Han Dynasty on the right track, make our Han people rich and strong, and the empire has enough strength to dominate the outside, then the first thing is to abolish the oral arithmetic and change it to land tax."

"This is something that Sangkook has already thought of."

"If you want to focus on land tax, arable land is the measure of land tax, and accurately controlling the amount of land is of practical significance to Xiangguo and the Han Dynasty!"

"If the annexation is not under my control, on the way to advance the land surveying, there will definitely be people secretly picking up the Xiongnu in the annexation, or Montenegro, or other border counties and foreigners to make trouble, to delay and block the process of clearing the cultivated land!"

"This implementation policy is similar to marching and fighting, the emphasis is on one drum, then decline, and three exhaustion!"

"It's best not to get blocked again and again for such an important thing as verifying the land, so it is likely to become a postponement policy, just shouting slogans and not being able to implement it, and eventually it will become inconclusive, and I think this is not what Xiangguo wants to see."

I have to say that Liu Jian's words are very reasonable, and Rao is Dong Zhuo can't help but be convinced.

"So, you have to control the annexation of the state in your hands, so that Hebei is all under your rule, so that you can make overall arrangements and not be exploited by the young people?"

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this: "Xiangguo is really a hero in the world, some things are thorough, and talking to Xiangguo is really not tired." ”

Dong Zhuo is old and willing to listen to the praise.

Although it was a little unpleasant to meet Liu Jian at the beginning, I was praised by Liu Jian again and again at this moment, and I felt deeply relieved.

"It's just that when you first arrived in Jizhou, didn't you also implement the law of Dutian?"

Liu Jian said: "At that time, it was just to be able to tuntian, and the scope of action was small, but it was just a small fight, but if you want a national census, it is not so easy." ”

"According to Liu's opinion, at least it must be thoroughly implemented in Xiangguo's Guanzhong and Liu's Hebei, and this new land policy can be regarded as a beginning that can be continued."

"But how easy is that?"

"The first obstacle to this is the squire of Haoyou!"

"This time, we have to face not only the noble families, but also many big, medium and small tycoons, who will resist land measurement."

"After all, for more than 100 years, the squires of various states and counties have colluded with local government offices to occupy land and farmers, and falsely reported a large number of fertile land as mountains and ......rivers."

"But to rejuvenate the country, we must first average taxes, and average taxes must be cleared first! This is a hurdle that cannot be overcome no matter what. ”

"The success or failure of Qingzhang in the early stage, to tell the truth, is all in Hebei, and if Hebei Qingzhang fails, it will be difficult for the whole country to clear Zhang...... Therefore, the state must be handed over to me directly! ”

Of course, if Xiangguo doesn't want to implement the land policy, Liu has nothing to say, and he will ...... I just don't take it over from the imperial court. ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he felt his right eyelid jump back and forth.

What does it mean not to take over from the imperial court?

If the court doesn't give it to you, you have to rob it yourself?

Dong Zhuo gently tapped the table with his hand, and said slowly: "Okay, then dare to ask Deran, if the old man hands over the merger to you, what benefits can the old man get?" ”
