The turmoil of the New Year's Festival banquet soon spread, causing a lot of sensation, but this is not an end, it is just a beginning, after the New Year's Festival, the Jinyang Palace issued five edicts in a row, causing a sensation in the world:

First, the emperor issued an edict: "At the palace banquet for the New Year's Festival, the kings petitioned, asking me to take back the fiefdom and promote the world, I have agreed, and ordered the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions and the kings of the clan to hand over the governance of their land, and the imperial court appointed officials to govern, and their local soldiers and horses were adjusted, and the official documents of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were listened to. ”

This matter has been planned by Gao Wei for a long time, and it is the first step to deal with the clan and the nobles.

Second, the emperor issued an edict: "The official system of our dynasty mostly follows the previous dynasty, and today, it has decayed and cannot bear the weight of the country's social affairs, so I want to streamline the organization and abolish redundant officials." Therefore, from today onwards, the abolition of the Shangshu affairs, the abolition of the middle of the hall, the addition of the Ministry of Engineering, the change of the branch to the household department, the change of the ancestral department to the Ministry of Rites, the capital official for the criminal department, the five military departments are collectively referred to as the military department, all under the Shangshu Province dispatch, Shangshu Province set up the left and right prime ministers, originally, Zuo Cheng is in charge of the ministry, the examination of merit, the lord, the palace, the Yi Cao, the three dukes, the ancestral department, the main guest, the left and right soldiers, the left and right foreign soldiers, the capital official, the two thousand stones, the degree branch, the left and right households 17 Cao, and the main jurisdiction of Taichung affairs. Those who violate the mistake will also correct the horse. Right Cheng is in charge of the driving department, Yu Cao, Tuntian, Qibu, Dubing, Bibu, Shui, Food, Warehouse, Jin, and Treasury Eleven Cao. It also governs Taichung, but is not responsible for impeachment. From today onwards, the six ministers are in charge of a total of 28 Cao, the left minister is in charge of the military department, the official department, and the criminal department, and the right minister is in charge of the household department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites, and the Dali Temple and the Yushitai are acting separately......"

The Lu Shang Shu Shi was abolished, and the power departments of the total of 28 Cao in the hands of the left and right ministers were gathered into six departments, and the left and right ministers were in charge of six departments, but there was no longer the power to impeach and picket officials, and the Dali Temple and the Yushitai with the right to report, picket and impeach were separated and separately responsible to the emperor.

Not only these departments, what Cushman & Wakefield needs is an efficient administrative unit, with the cabinet responsible for deliberation and decision-making, and the six ministries responsible for implementation, which will undoubtedly make it much more efficient, and at the same time further weaken the power of the minister. As a result, the role of the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province is infinitely close to zero, and these two departments are also among the abolished. At the same time, the secretary province, the book collection province, the central service province and other departments are also in the cleanup.

In addition, there are some departments with relatively small powers: the Shangshi Bureau, which is always in charge of imperial food affairs; Shang Pharmacy Bureau, in charge of the affairs of imperial medicine; The main clothing bureau is in charge of the things that the royal clothes play with; Zhai Shuai Bureau, responsible for laying and sprinkling; Dushuitai, Zhangzhujin Bridge; The profacist platform, in charge of auspicious and evil affairs, and the etiquette of the guide; Weiwei Temple, in charge of the guards; Dazong Temple, the head of the sect is registered; Taifu Temple, the chariots, horses, cattle, and livestock of the genus; Dali Temple, in charge of the prison of execution; Honglu Temple, the palm of the Fan guest court, auspicious and evil hanging sacrifices; Sinong Temple, Zhangcang City Salary, Garden Pond Fruit; Taifu Temple, the treasury of the golden silk, the creation of utensils; Guozi Temple, the son of a nobleman in charge of teaching; Changqiu Temple, the palace pavilion in charge; It will be a temple and a palace building; Zhaoxuan Temple, in charge of Buddhist affairs.

These departments will be rectified one after another in the near future.

Third, the emperor issued an edict approving the Zuo Xiang and the Governor of the Western Metropolis Hu Luguang to repair the city, and ordered the Zuo Xiang to transfer the people and soldiers on the spot to build a military town in Fenzhou, in addition, the generals and officials at all levels of Jinzhou Province listened to the dispatch of Jinyang, corrected the roads and bridges, redefined the map, and the grain and grass hoarded in Hebei, Shandong, and Bingzhou, and allocated half of it to fill the Jizhou, Jinzhou, and Luoyang, and the soldiers in various parts of the frontier were mobilized, and obeyed the official documents of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War.

Gao Wei built Chi Road in Jinzhou Road, built a large number of military towns and fortifications in Fenzhou, is in preparation for the battle of Zhou Dynasty, now it seems that Yuwen Yong's contrarian rise has been unstoppable, although he is very willing to fight with Yu Wen Yong head-on, but he will not be rash after all, really wait for Yu Wen Yong to make the Northern Zhou Dynasty national strength rise before coming to the west, now we must prepare for war, build Chi Road, in order to make the soldiers send additional support and grain and grass transportation more quickly, once the frontier is urgent, Jinyang can quickly allocate troops and horses to aid Fenzhou and Luoyang, Heyin.

Everyone in the world knows that Wei Xiaokuan is good at defending, but I don't know that Wei Xiaokuan is also good at attacking, the reason why he is trapped in the jade bi can not move an inch, because his opponent is Hu Luguang, although the Northern Qi still has the upper hand over the Northern Zhou, but the Northern Zhou can send troops to the east at any time, Hu Luguang still has to wait to break through the jade, so Gao Wei and the courtiers of the Privy Council after some exchanges, still feel that it is more important to build more military towns and fortifications, however, Gao Wei vetoed Hu Luguang's proposal to build the "Great Wall of Qi", and ordered Hu Luguang to build a military fort to defend and garrison troops according to the danger, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, this is in line with the strategic purpose of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Fourth, the emperor issued an edict to remove the craftsmen who were still in slavery from slavery all over the country and changed them to commoners.

If Gao Wei wanted to promote trade between the north and the south, he must make the handicraft industry of the Northern Qi prosperous. The development of the handicraft industry is inseparable from skilled craftsmen.

During this period, the handicraft market was firmly pinched in the hands of the imperial court, and the Western Jin Dynasty had set up two departments to manage the handicraft industry, "Shaofu" and "Weiwei", which controlled most of the handicraft industry and skilled craftsmen in the country, and firmly grasped the trading in the hands of the imperial court with mining and metallurgy, weapon casting, gold and silver equipment, textiles, printing and dyeing, etc., this management model was even implemented to the locality, and there were also such handicraft management departments in the prefecture and county. The existence of this kind of department facilitates the government's profits, but it harms the craftsmen and craftsmen at the bottom.

The vast majority of artisan households under this system have complex backgrounds, ups and downs, or have been denounced as artisans because of their crimes, or have been passed down from generation to generation, and some are temporarily recruited, and no matter what the reason, their identities are at the bottom, even worse than ordinary homeless people.

They were under the strict control of the imperial court, and their personal safety, freedom of marriage, and personal property could not be guaranteed, and the shackles imposed on them were particularly heavy, and they were contemptuously called "miscellaneous households" and "artisan slaves under the account".

Although in the later period, both the Southern and Northern Dynasties implemented the system of "taking turns to serve", giving craftsmen a certain amount of autonomy and allowing them to work for themselves, which strengthened the labor enthusiasm of craftsmen to a certain extent and promoted the development and prosperity of the handicraft industry, but many of the craftsmen were not in the hands of the imperial court, but in the hands of wealthy families.

This policy is very important and will become a decisive opening policy for the future of Northern Qi, and Cushman & Wakefield has three purposes:

First, to promote the development of handicrafts, which has already been mentioned earlier, in the capital and industrial revolution is far from coming today, handicraft trade is an important component of the national economy, Cushman & Wakefield in the restoration of the freedom of craftsmen, can issue many preferential policies to encourage handicrafts, while promoting the "hired craftsmen" system, craftsmen not only get personal emancipation, but also can enjoy the policy bias, the court from now on in the form of employment to ask craftsmen to work, no longer affect the craftsmen and ordinary people life, The development of non-governmental trade will be more active.

Second, Cushman & Wakefield's original intention of opening the mutual market was to increase north-south exchanges (this is a polite phrase from the ghosts), increase fiscal revenue, and macro-regulate the national economy. But there are two points that Cushman and Wakefield did not say, which can increase the control of the central government, and can also weaken the power of the Maison's Wu Castle.

Since ancient times, the stability of the country is inseparable from the national economy, the people are fed and warm, they will not think of rebellion, but on the contrary, if the wealth is in the hands of a few privileged classes, the days are long, the national finances are unsustainable, it is impossible to ensure the stability of the country, when the country is in turmoil, the government has to squeeze the people to get through the difficulties, once the pressure is excessive, the people have no way to live, it is time to change the dynasty, this is an unsolvable cycle......

And now the wealthy family and the nobles are strong, although the hard power of the wealthy family is not as good as the nobles, but the soft power is greatly exceeded, the strong position of the wealthy family in politics, the corresponding must be the take-off of the economy of the family, the private soldiers and farmers, and craftsmen of the Wubao were originally overwhelmed to defect, which makes the power of the Wubao continue to grow...... They are the main body of the country's economy, and the ruler cannot do without their support, which makes the emperor have to favor the wealthy families in political leanings......

The rise of the family inevitably led to the annexation of land and the collapse of the government and military system, and the country had to use a large number of cool officials and conscription systems to maintain stability.

As the economy of the family rises, the country's finances are bound to shrink further, so that it becomes weaker and more dependent on the family until it perishes.

To reduce the power of the wealthy family, we must start from two aspects.

On the one hand, starting from the political point of view, opening a branch to recruit scholars, supporting the children of poor families to become officials in the court, and diluting the power in the hands of the family. On the other hand, starting from the economy, not to let the national finances depend on the family, but to let the family's economy depend on the state finances, over time, the state will naturally be able to achieve the goal of weakening and controlling the family. At this time, Cushman & Wakefield's policy is particularly important.

To sum up, it is back to the reason why Cushman & Wakefield is desperate to centralize local power.

Cushman & Wakefield must not only control the country politically, but also through the economy, and only by taking a two-pronged approach can it reap the benefits. Since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the central government has been suffering from the inability to directly control the lower counties, and the power of the local county guards is unimaginable, and all local military affairs, finance, and justice must be subject to the local governor, and the local governor is naturally more willing to collude with the wealthy families entrenched in the locality, and under the support of power, the local wealthy families will naturally become bigger.

The entire Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, until the middle of the Tang Dynasty, can be called a "scholar society", and the imperial court cannot do without them, and it is inevitable that they will be set aside.

In order to get rid of this cycle of fate, Cushman & Wakefield has been planning for so long, and the time has finally come!

Cushman & Wakefield's Fifth Edict: On the second day of February, the three border cities are all opened!

On the second day of the first month of the second year of Wuping, the year of Xinmao, the world is auspicious.
