Chapter 683: Merging the Eight Kitchens
Liu Jian did not embarrass the fifth patrol, but he did not forgive the fifth patrol either.
He wasn't a dictator, and I wanted to set his people free, including freedom of speech.
But now the situation of the Han Dynasty is that those who have a powerful system have huge resources in their hands, whether it is material resources or propaganda resources, and the nobles who control these resources are free...... No one in the rest of the class is free.
Since other people are not free, they simply deprive these elites of their right to freedom of speech, and then reformulate a new set of public opinion systems that are conducive to national development.
All should be treated equally.
Great governance is necessary for chaos, this is the thinking attitude that Liu Jian has always adhered to.
Within a few days, many nobles of the scholar clan began to write to Liu Xie, hoping that Liu Xie could issue an order to stop all this.
But what can Liu Xie do?
Don't say that he can't stop Liu Jian at all, even if he can stop Liu Jian, he won't do it, after all, Liu Jian is his financier.
……
……
The Prime Minister's Mansion headed by Liu Jian, of course, should not only pay attention to such a little thing, but also the great plan of recovering the Central Plains and developing various industries in the Central Plains, Liu Jian has never been left behind.
After Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun became generals, Liu Jian immediately sent Zhao Yun to lead troops to Yanzhou and began to send troops to occupy the counties and counties of Yanzhou.
Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou back then, had already been attacked and killed by the chaotic army in the local chaos, and the guards of Yanzhou Prefecture and County were also scattered like birds and beasts, and now all parts of Yanzhou can be described as chaos, from top to bottom, there is no mature system at all, no one has taken up important positions in government offices at all levels, displaced people are everywhere, starvation is everywhere, there are bandits and grass bandits everywhere, and the people are living in dire straits.
After Zhao Yun arrived in Yanzhou, he traveled around the country, first exterminated several of the largest local bandits, and then he sent someone to send a letter back to Liu Jian, saying that Yanzhou now has no officials to govern, and asked Liu Jian to quickly deploy personnel according to the situation in Yanzhou.
Guanzhong and Sizhou, has now reached the stage of autumn harvest, because it is only the first year to carry out tuntian, collect the displaced people, and at the same time the keel waterwheel has not been greatly popularized in Guanzhong, so the grain harvest in Guanzhong and Sizhou this year is far from as good as Liu Jian predicted, which makes him quite disappointed.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is very good that the situation in Guanzhong can be restored to this extent.
After all, the previous land of Guanzhong and Sizhou was a dilapidated scene, full of displaced people, barren fields everywhere, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of rebels, which can be said to be in ruins.
To be able to recover to the current level is beyond most people's imagination.
At the very least, the basic situation has been stabilized, although the population is still much smaller than in the heyday, the fertile land has been destroyed a lot, and the various industries have tended to wither, but after nearly a year of recovery, most of the existing population has settled in peace, and food self-sufficiency has also been achieved, although it has not yet formed an effective scale in terms of commerce and trade, but this is also very normal.
After all, most of the previous foundations have been destroyed, and it is really unrealistic to rely on such a short period of time to restore the heyday.
Although Guanzhong and Sizhou did not meet Liu Jian's expected standards, since they have basically stabilized, Liu Jian can start to do it in Yanzhou.
First of all, Yanzhou needs a capable assassin to manage it, but who will do it?
Liu Jian already has a suitable candidate in his heart.
……
"The prime minister asked the old man to do the history of Yanzhou?"
After hearing Liu Jian's appointment, Liu Ya jumped up from the spot in surprise,
He is also an old man, and being able to have such vigorous skills is really an eye-opener for Liu Jian.
"Uncle Clan, why are you so surprised?"
Liu Ya smiled bitterly: "Can you not be surprised...... I've never done this before. ”
After Liu Jian entered politics, his father Liu Zhou has always presided over the affairs of the clan, but the person responsible for assisting Liu Zhou in presiding over the affairs of the Liu family is Liu Jian's uncle Liu Ya.
When Liu Jian was in the clan, he felt that Liu Ya was a usable person, so all the big and small matters in the clan were handed over to Liu Ya to preside, and at the same time let him cultivate the children of the clan well.
After ten years of development, the Liu family of Zhuojun has become the largest family in Youzhou.
This is also a matter of course, after all, the person standing behind them is Liu Jian.
However, although the Liu family of Zhuojun County has become the largest clan in Youzhou, Liu Jian has very high requirements for the people in the clan, and he has made regulations for the people in the clan, everyone is not allowed to oppress the people, and the monthly distribution of money per person per household and house is fixed.
The Liu clan of Zhuojun, as the representative of Youzhou, never annexed land, and under the control of Hebei's program minutes, they could not annex land, because the more land was annexed, the more taxes they would have to pay in the future.
Therefore, the main development experience of Zhuojun Liu's in these years is to engage in business, through the resources given by Liu Jian, Zhuojun Liu's main business Youzhou and Hebei local materials are sold to the north and northeast countries, and also cooperate with the Eight Kitchen Group to transport Hebei's precious materials to the south, and together with the Eight Kitchen Group in the Central Plains to create a shipping channel conducive to trading to the south.
These things are not ordinary families can do, shipping logistics in this era is a new industry, the current can control the shipping port only the official office of Hebei.
If you want to do business at sea, you must go through the official office of the Han Dynasty.
No matter how strong the government is, it is impossible to say that all the business is contracted by the government, and when it is done to a certain extent and on a certain scale, it will naturally benefit the people, and non-governmental organizations will undertake the main trade.
And because the Liu family of Zhuojun is Liu Jian's family, the burden is naturally the heaviest.
The Liu family of Zhuojun in the Han Dynasty became a rare huge wealthy family that prospered by not annexing land and sucking blood from ordinary people, but by doing business.
In Liu Jian's view, this is also a trend in the future of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, the Liu family has been in business for so many years, and there are also a lot of talents in the clan, and these talents have also been included by Liu Jian in the government offices at all levels in Hebei for training.
At the same time, a large number of Liu's children entered the Hebei Business and Trade Association.
Now, the Hebei Commerce and Trade Association has become the official spokesperson of the Han Empire, and with the establishment of the Commerce Bureau, many people in the Liu Group have entered the Commerce Department and become the pillars of the imperial court.
Although the younger generation has produced a lot of talents, there is also less support from the older generation.
For so many years, Liu Ya, who has taken care of the Liu family in Zhuo County for Liu Jian, can be said to have made great contributions.
If it is said that the development of the Liu family in Zhuojun to this day, Liu Jian is the first hero, then Liu Ya must be regarded as the second hero.
As for Liu Jian's biological father Liu Zhou, he is just a nominal sect master, in fact, for the Liu clan, Liu Zhou does not have much influence, he is just a hands-off shopkeeper, raising children and grandchildren every day, living a very nourishing life, and basically not caring about business.
Over the years, the Zhuojun Liu clan has been able to develop to this extent, largely because Liu Jian has provided many official channels for the Zhuojun Liu clan.
Among the Liu clan in Zhuo County, the person who deals with these official channels the most is Liu Ya.
So don't look at Liu Ya is just an ordinary member of the Hebei Business and Trade Association.
However, he knew more about the operation of officialdom in Hebei, about the operation of commerce and trade at all levels, and even about many local government decrees in Hebei than ordinary officials and subordinates.
There is no way, this is also Liu Jian's hard request to him.
In fact, Liu Ya himself doesn't know that he has now grown up in the past ten years, and he is almost qualified to be a thorn history.
It can even be said that he is more qualified than those assassins in other states of the Han Dynasty, because the place where he grew up is Youzhou.
Youzhou is a magical place that has been reborn and changed after the governance of Liu Jian and Xun Yu.
Liu Ya didn't count his abilities, but Liu Jian knew his abilities very well.
But seeing Liu Jian stand up with a smile, he walked in front of Liu Ya and said: "Uncle clan, don't be arrogant, with your current ability, you can become a thorn in the history, and among our Zhuojun Liu clan, we really need some characters to stand up and hold important positions in the local area." ”
"And you have previously worked in the Hebei Commerce and Trade Association, and now the Hebei Commerce and Trade Association has been merged into the Department of Commerce, and since you are a member of the Commerce Bureau, you also have the qualifications to serve in the local area, so you don't have to worry, as long as you are willing to do it, I will definitely be able to support you in place."
Now Liu Ya's vision is naturally different, he listened to Liu Jian's words, and also knew that Liu Jian wanted to use him to let the Liu family go to a higher level, but he still didn't have much confidence in himself.
"Prime Minister, the land of Yanzhou is in ruins, do you think the old man has the strength to manage the land of Yanzhou well?"
Liu Jian nodded very seriously: "Uncle, with your experience, there should be no problem if you want to run Yanzhou well, at least when Youzhou broke the game, you were the closest to Wen Ruo in the Hebei Business and Trade Association, and you often had contacts. ”
"I think you can also give full play to your talents in Yanzhou, and you are just a thorn in history, not to implement all the decrees in Yanzhou, but to supervise the local county guards and officials at all levels, and supervise whether they will implement the imperial decrees on Yanzhou."
"When I go back to the county guards of each county in Yanzhou, I will appoint them one by one, you just need to cooperate with them to implement the decree of Yanzhou, and that is enough."
When Liu Ya heard Liu Jian's order, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" The prime minister trusts ...... so much Hey, although the old man is already old, as long as the prime minister is willing to use me as an old man, then the old man is willing to do it. ”
"The old man works hard to do it, and strives not to embarrass the prime minister, nor to disgrace our Zhuojun Liu family."
"Good!"
Facts have proved that Liu Jian's vision is not wrong.
After Liu Ya arrived in Yanzhou, he began to conduct tuntian in Yanzhou in accordance with the tuntian method of Youzhou that year.
And the performance indicators implemented in Youzhou in the past have also fallen on officials at all levels in Yanzhou.
Compared with the system of the previous year, the current performance indicators are clearer and more standardized than the system of the year, and it is more impossible for local officials to cheat.
The above is an evaluation of the overall performance of a county.
However, as long as the people are deceived or deducted, the higher-level indicators of the county guard can be completed, but the performance indicators are for the officials at all levels of the Han Dynasty, referring to every official.
Liu Jian gave a death order, went up to a county guard, and went down to an ordinary official in a county, even if he was just a person who had just entered the official office and did not have a monthly salary, as long as he entered the official office, he had to memorize performance indicators.
The performance indicators of ordinary officials can directly reflect the performance indicators of his superiors, and all the performance indicators are linked, so it is more difficult to cheat, because from the superior to the bottom, one link is linked to the other, and if you want to cheat, you have to unite all the officials in the county to cheat.
Of course, it is not impossible to cheat, but the cost of fraud is relatively high.
Instead of cheating, it may be better to complete the work tasks in the performance indicators in a down-to-earth manner.
In particular, the Discipline Inspection Office and the Integrity Office are conducting irregular inspections of officials at all levels.
So, under Liu Jian's appointment, Liu Ya became the assassin of Yanzhou, and the Taishou of Yanzhou counties also took office under Liu Jian's appointment and dismissal, and a vigorous rectification campaign against Yanzhou began.
Tuntian, water conservancy, and appeasing the displaced people are naturally indispensable.
Yanzhou's local Eight Kitchen Group and Liu Jian's Hebei Business Association have also been in partnership for many years.
Today's Yanzhou Eight Kitchen Group has always relied on the support and cooperation of the Hebei Business and Trade Association to survive so far.
Now, with the establishment of the new Yanzhou Thorn History, Hebei Commerce and Trade Group has officially entered Yanzhou.
As a representative of the Eight Kitchen Group, Zhang Miao was a little uneasy after knowing about this matter, after all, if the Hebei Business and Trade Group entered Yanzhou in large numbers, then where is the way out for the Eight Kitchen Group in the future?
It is impossible for them to compete with Hebei.
In order to find a way out for the Eight Kitchen Group in the Central Plains, Zhang Miao personally went to Chang'an to meet Liu Jian.
For this old friend who has cooperated with Hebei for many years, Liu Jian warmly received him, and at the same time, in response to Zhang Miao's doubts, Liu Jian also patiently explained for him.
It is completely impossible for the Eight Kitchen Group to continue to survive and continue to be independent of the Central Plains.
Now, there is only one way left for them, and that is to completely enter the Dahan Business Association and share their resources with the state.
At the same time, they are under the management of the State Department of Commerce, and from now on, they will engage in commercial and trade activities in accordance with the country's legal system.
As long as the Eight Kitchen Group can take the initiative to merge into the Department of Commerce and set an example for all the noble families in the world, then it will be a logical thing for the imperial court to manage the commercial activities of the whole country in the future.
Therefore, the attitude of the Eight Kitchen Group is still of great benefit to the new policy in the future.
It's up to them to bow their heads.
But with Zhang Miao's current position, does he still have any choice?
From the beginning of his cooperation with Hebei, he had no independent choice.
Year after year, Eight Kitchen Group has become a completely dependent existence in Hebei.
Therefore, Zhang Miao, on behalf of the Eight Kitchen Group, expressed his willingness to submit to Liu Jian's rule, and all the resources of the Eight Kitchen Group were handed over to the imperial court.
