Chapter 0379: Optimus Pillar
After more than two years of reforms, the Wei state gradually became stronger. There has been a great improvement in the administration of officials and the people's livelihood, the government of officials is clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the income of the state treasury is increasing day by day.
In terms of military affairs, Wei set up 16 guards in the center, each with 20,000 people, and streamlined the government. At the same time, at the suggestion of Wang Meng, Ran Min decided to implement the 20-level military merit system in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the merit was recorded in the amount of the head, and the soldiers could get the merit by beheading the enemy's armor.
On the economic front, Wei implemented a policy of free trade, which not only did not restrict the people from doing business, but also reduced the customs tariffs, so that foreign merchants could communicate with their own merchants, and at the same time opened up the salt and iron business and allowed joint ventures between government and businessmen.
In this way, the Wei State greatly stimulated the market, and a lot of businessmen emerged in the entire Wei State for a while!
The reason why Wei's treasury increased its revenue so much was that most of the taxes came from these merchants.
In terms of culture and education, Wei set up official schools in various states and counties, and by paying a certain amount of tuition, you could enter the official school to study and write. Different age groups have access to different levels of education. The government has also set up a scholarship system to encourage more children to enroll.
In terms of diplomacy, Wei did not invade and interfere with each other with its neighboring three kingdoms of Qin, Yong, and Yan, and at the same time received submissions from Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje on the Korean Peninsula. The three kingdoms of Goguryeo sent Wei envoys to Wei, and Wei also sent 3,000 monks and a large number of Confucian scholars into the Korean Peninsula to implement subtle "sinicization".
There is no need to go into detail about the rule of officials.
As for the people's livelihood, Wei went deep into the equalization system and rewarded childbirth, and in just two years, the population of Wei increased a lot.
And these effects are very significant, Ran Min is also aware of the changes that are taking place in the Wei State now, and he is quite complacent.
And the only fly in the ointment is that the Jin Kingdom in the south seems to be ready to move again.
Not long ago, I just destroyed Cheng Han!
But Ran Min was just unhappy, but he didn't do anything crazy. And after two years of recuperation, I think that the Jin Kingdom should have recovered, otherwise it would not have been possible to defeat Cheng Han so quickly, and also swallow the land of Bashu!
It is said that after Huan Wen leveled Shu, he raised talents in the local area, invoked talents for his own use, and turned the old ministers of the Cheng Han Dynasty Wang Xu, Wang Yu, Deng Ding, Chang Xuan and others into the army, and successfully pacified Shu. However, Wang Wei and Deng Ding soon raised troops to rebel, and they were eventually pacified by the Jin army. Huan Wen stayed in Shu for a month, and then returned to Jiangling (now Jiangling, Hubei).
The Jin court rewarded Pingshu's merits and wanted to seal Huan Wen as the prince of Yuzhang County, but was persuaded by Shangshu Zuo Cheng Xun Rui. In the end, Huan Wen was named the general of the expedition to the west, the third division of the Kaifu Yitong, and the prince of Linhe County.
Jiangling, in the mansion of the general of Zhengxi, Huan Wen, who had just accepted the congratulations of the generals, had an ugly look on his face, as if he had swallowed a live fly, so uncomfortable!
Sun Sheng, who joined the army on the side, was also upset by Huan Wen: "General, those ministers of the imperial court are really disagreeable. General, you have destroyed Cheng Han, how great is this effort to destroy the country? Not to mention that it is a king who splits the soil, but it is not a problem to increase Sima or a hussar general and seal a rich county? But now the imperial court has only given you the title of Linhe County Duke to the general, what is the reason? "New 81 Mobile::/M.X81zw/
Yuan Qiao, the middle protector, was a man of insight, and when he saw Sun Sheng slandering the court like this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "General Sun, be cautious in your words and deeds. Although the general only got the title of Linhe County Duke, he did not get the title of Da Sima or Hussar General, but these are all false names! Our general has already conquered and destroyed the Han Dynasty, and there are eight states under his rule, and he can also recruit soldiers and allocate resources on his own, isn't it good to have such real benefits? β
"Yuan Qiao, I don't like to hear you say this." Zhou Chu, who joined the army, raised his eyebrows and said, "The merit of destroying the country is a great feat!" Since I have been in the south of the Jin Dynasty, have I ever had such a brilliant record? Our general has the ability of Zu Ti and Tao Kan, how can we not be strong in the power grabbers in the court? β
Hearing this, Huan Wen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his heart was very happy.
Zhou Chu complimented Huan Wen like this, which made him very happy. When Huan Wen was young, he compared himself to Liu Kun and Tao Kan, and took these two as role models, which is a well-known thing.
When Yuan Qiao heard this, he opened his mouth, and just wanted to refute something, but he didn't say it after all.
Sun Sheng and Zhou Chu are not only Huan Wen's henchmen, but also famous queens.
Sun Sheng was the grandson of Sun Zixuan, a Wei hussar general, and the grandson of Sun Chu, the Taishou of Feng Yi of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Sun Sheng was born in a famous official family, and when he was young, he was famous for his erudition and good conversation, but his career was not smooth, and he successively served as Tao Kan, Yu Liang, Yu Yi, and Huan Wen's assistant. There are many scholars in Jiangdong, like Sun Sheng, who is a "Qing talker" celebrity, and even more so as a carp crossing the river, so he can make a name for himself in the battle to destroy the Han Dynasty, and Sun Sheng is very grateful to Huan Wen.
As for Zhou Chu's situation, it is similar to Sun Sheng.
Zhou Chu was the son of the captured general Zhou Fu, and both father and son served under Huan Wen.
"Alright." Huan Wen stopped everyone's dispute at this time, and he said lightly, "I wiped out the division and destroyed the Han Dynasty, in order to raise the soldiers of my Han family, but also to protect the foundation of my Great Jin Dynasty and recover the rivers and mountains, not for my own future!" The court has already rewarded me like this, and I will definitely accept it. β
Zhou Chu said complimentarily: "General Gao Yi! The general is the pillar of my Great Jin, if there is no general, I am afraid that Jianghan will not be protected, and the society will be in danger! The auxiliary ministers in the court are really blind. β
"Not bad, not bad." Sun Sheng also had a flattering look on his face, "Those ministers in the Yuansun (Zhou Chuzi) court are really talented, they only know how to talk, and they are not like the generals who are full of economy, resourceful and decisive, they will win the battle, and they will win the attack, just like Han Xin and Bai Qi are in the world!" β
When the general decided to send troops to attack Shuzhong, the imperial court was worried when he learned about it, thinking that the general's troops were too small, and he went deep into the dangerous and remote Shu land, fearing that the general would eventually be defeated and returned. Only Lord Liu Yi thought that the general would be able to destroy Shu. No, general, have you proved it to those people with wine bags and rice bags with your strength? β
Huan Wen waved his hand and said, "Stop." Rank, in addition to the court's reward for me, there is another thing at the moment, and I still have some concerns. "γ‘ζ°γ€(8)1 Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο8.1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
"What?"
"The Battle of Shu made me famous, and the world knows that I am famous in the first battle. But at the moment, I am afraid that it has aroused the suspicion of the imperial court. According to the information I received, Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, recently issued several edicts in succession to recruit Yangzhou to assassinate Shi Yin Hao into the court. β
"What?"
Hearing this, the strategists present couldn't help but change color.
For this Yin Hao, they are all very jealous.
Yin Hao's character is deeply sourced, a native of Changping County, Chen County (now Xihua County, Henan), and the son of Yuzhang Taishou and Guangluxun Yin Xian.
Yin Hao's knowledge is clear and lofty, and he has a good reputation when he is young, especially proficient in metaphysics, and his uncle Yin Rong loves "Lao Tzu" and "I Ching".
Yin Rong's tongue war and debate can't fight Yin Hao, but writing books and talking is better than Yin Hao.
Yin Hao was therefore admired by those amorous debaters.
Someone once asked Yin Hao: "Why is it that you dream of a coffin when you want to be an official, and you dream of dung when you want to get rich?" β
Yin Hao replied: "Officials are rotten things, so they will be officials and dream of dead bodies; Money is dung, so you are going to get rich and dream of dung. β
At the time, people regarded his remarks as wise words.
Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong recruited Yin Hao as an official, but he resigned and refused to take office.
Later, Yu Liang, the general of Zhengxi, recruited him to join the army as a secretary, and was promoted to Situ Zuo Changshi many times. General Anxi Yu Yi asked to be Sima again. Later, he was appointed as the military secretary of Shizhong and Anxi, and Yin Hao said that he was sick and did not take office.
lived in seclusion in the barren mountains for nearly ten years, and the people at that time compared him to Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang.
Wang Meng and Xie Shang also probed his movements in exile and retreat to predict the rise and fall of Jiangdong.
The two went to visit Yin Hao together, knowing that Yin Hao had a firm ambition to escape from the world. After returning, he sighed and said: "Yin Hao doesn't ask about the world, how to face the people of Jiangdong!" β
Yu Yi wrote a letter to Yin Hao and said: "Today, the safety of Jiangdong Sheji is in danger, the internal affairs are entrusted to Chu Li, He Chong and other important ministers, and foreign affairs rely on the Yu family, the Huan family and other major families. β
"I have a good reputation, and for more than ten years, I have served inside and outside, but now I want to retire from the world and don't ask about state affairs, which is unreasonable. Besides, the great cause of the contemporary era must be completed by the contemporary masters, why must we blindly pursue the style of the ancients! β
"Wang Yifu was a romantic figure in the previous dynasty, but I always despised his pursuit of fame. If you think that today's world is not a prosperous summer, then you should be detached from things and don't ask about the troubled times at the beginning, but Wang Yifu is trying his best to seek a high position and establish a reputation, since he is a prominent position, he should strive to promote the famous religion, govern the world wholeheartedly, and make the troubled times stable, but at this time, Wang Yifu talked about Lao Zhuang, said that it was empty all day long, not practical, although it was said that it was a long and flashy and empty talk. β
In his old age, his prestige still existed, but he coveted comfort, feared turmoil, and conspired to protect himself, and was finally captured by Shile and decapitated in a different place. Do all virtuous gentlemen approve of this? And the world thinks he's right. From this, it can be seen that the name does not match the reality today, and the vice of empty talk and flashiness has not been eliminated. β
Yin Hao still insisted on not going out of the mountain.
When the Yu Bing brothers and He Chong died one after another, Sima Yu, the son of Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin Yuan Dynasty, entered the court as an auxiliary government as an imperial uncle.
In March of the second year of Yonghe (346), the Wei general Chu Yin Hao, Yin Hao was recruited and appointed as the general of Jianwu and the assassin of Yangzhou. Yin Hao resigned, and wrote to Sima Yu to state his wishes.
Sima Yu was also thirsty for talent, and sent a letter to Yin Hao: "The country is in danger, and its decay has reached the extreme. He has a wide range of knowledge, talents, and skills to be used by the country, which is enough to help the world. If I continue to be humble and insist on going my own way, I am afraid that the great affairs of the world will come to an end from now on. β
"Now that the country is in decline, the dynasty is sluggish, and once the country is destroyed, I am afraid that there will be no place to bury it."
From this point of view, the stay of the foot is related to the rise and fall of the times, and the rise and fall of the times is related to the survival of the society. If you think about it for a long time, you can identify the gains and losses. I hope to abandon the heart of seclusion and follow the wishes of everyone. β
Yin Hao repeatedly resigned, and from March to July, he accepted the call-up.
Yin Hao thus served as the general of Jianwu and the assassin of Yangzhou, and participated in the government affairs.
