Chapter 217: New System
In the evening, the setting sun stained the sky red, and the imperial city was shrouded in a warm red glow.
Gao Wei staggered to his harem, ran to Wan'er to see that the dishes had been served, and his wife and sister-in-law were waiting for him to come back for dinner.
Gao Wei has been busy spinning like a spinning top these days, his mouth is dry, and he drank three bowls of soup in a row before he stopped, eating clean and rinsing his mouth, but he caught a glimpse of the little girl with her hands flat on the table, her eyes looking at him for a moment.
It seems to be hinting at something.
Cushman thought for a long time, only to realize that he hadn't told her a story for several days, and sighed in resignation.
Gao Yuanyuan's children don't like to read and don't love women, the only advantage is that they are very persistent, if she wants to do something, Gao Wei will stop her, she will follow Gao Wei all day long and keep asking, why, why, why, in the end, she can often get her wish fulfilled, this is her big killer, except for facing her sister-in-law, otherwise she is usually invincible.
"It is said that there was once a young man named Ma Liang who loved to draw very much, and one day he got a magic pen, and whatever he wanted to paint would become real......"
"I've already talked about this......"
Have you talked about it? Gao Wei paused, a confused look flashed in his eyes, and then asked, "How about talking about agarwood saving my mother?" ”
"I've talked about it too." Gao Yuanyuan's child looked at him with blinking.
"What about the father of Kuafu?"
"I've talked about ......"
The little girl, who had no more stories to hear, sighed wistfully.
"I've heard all of this, brother, can't you tell interesting stories?"
Gao Wei was furious, slapped the table and said, "Who said I can't speak? I can make one up in minutes, you listen. ”
"After Ma Liang got the magic pen, he drew ten suns, Hou Yi shot down nine, and one ran away, so Hou Yi went to ask Kuafu to help, but unfortunately Kuafu finally died of exhaustion on the road, before his death the body became a mountain, blocked at the door of Yugong's house, Jingwei in order to take revenge on the Sea Dragon King, so he was ready to fill the sea, but it caused a flood, Yugong on the other side of the mountain did not know, stunned to chisel the mountain, caused a big flood, Shun had no way, sent Yu to control the water, his pregnant wife stood on the mountain day and night and waited, wait, wait, wait After a long time, it turned into a stone, until one day a monkey named Sun Wukong broke out of the stone, he violated the rules of heaven, so Rulai descended the Wuzhi Mountain to suppress him, and it happened to be blocked at the door of Yugong's house, Yugong did not believe in evil, and continued to dig, but dug out a snake spirit and a scorpion spirit ......"
The child listened there with a confused face, she had heard these characters and stories from the emperor's brother, but he didn't tell it that before!
These mythical characters are all mixed together by him, and it is a new story......
But that sounds like a lot of fun......
Speaking of the critical time, Cushman & Wakefield took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
She couldn't wait to ask, "What happened later?" And then? ”
"Later, he dug up a seed and planted a colorful gourd baby, and the gourd baby defeated the snake spirit and the scorpion spirit, and turned into a colorful gourd mountain to suppress the two monsters underground......"
"Blocked at the door of Yugong's house again?" She thinks this old man called Yugong is so miserable.
"That's right, and blocked at the door of the Yugong's house, in the long run, the mountain before moving the door became the biggest wish of the Yugong, but the Yugong failed to achieve his wish until he died, so he entrusted this wish to his children and grandchildren, his son made a wide range of friends, knew a young man named Agarwood, Agarwood was moved by his filial piety, and used his long-sealed axe to split the mountain, Yugong's son was very grateful, and swore to follow Agarwood for the rest of his life, and later Agarwood offended the Emperor of Heaven, all the mana was lost, and Agarwood was afraid of the Emperor of Heaven to chase and kill, The two of them took refuge in another Western world, and while traveling around a certain forest, he was surprised to find a small house with seven dwarfs in it......"
The sky was still bright, and on the table, the young man who was gradually fading his childishness was telling a story to his little sister, and when his brother was talking serious nonsense, his little sister was holding some baby fat cheeks with both hands, opening her mouth wide, and listening to her brother's nonsense in amazement. When Wan'er came over, she saw such a scene, these two somewhat similar faces made her heart warm for a while, and she came over to make a cup of tea for her husband.
"Okay, don't talk about it, Baoqing hurry back to sleep."
"I can't sleep, I want to listen to the story......"
"Be obedient, don't make me angry."
Wan'er Xing glanced at her with a sneering eye, making the sister-in-law who just wanted to pull Gao Wei's sleeve and coquettish her hand away.
"Your Majesty wants to approve the folds every day, and you have seen it, and if you have time today, you can let him take a break, okay?"
She pouted aggrievedly, and after a while, she said, "Okay, I'll listen to the story next time......"
After the little girl left, it was much cleaner here, Gao Wei smiled bitterly:
"What are you doing, she has no playmates in the palace, so she will inevitably be lonely...... Kids......"
"Cut ......" Wan'er glanced at him, "Just now the concubine asked her to go back to sleep, why didn't Your Majesty come out to stop the concubine, you have taught the concubine a lesson...... I'm obviously tired, I wish I wouldn't let people bother you, and I'm still pretending here...... Do you think the concubine wants to be this bad guy? It's not that you're too tired. ”
"Okay, okay, you're right...... You're right, I'm wrong, okay? ”
Thinking of the terrifying power that she could continue to teach for more than an hour without pause, Gao Wei also had to disarm and surrender, otherwise his ears would not be clean overnight.
If a man wants family harmony, one of the things he must learn is to talk to his wife about his feelings, and never reason with her.
If you want to escalate the conflict, just give it a try......
Wan'er looked at him with disgust, and looked a little distressed when she saw that he was in low spirits.
"If you're tired, go sleep, you've been sleeping in the Xuanzheng Hall for the past few days, and you must not have slept either......"
"Actually, it's okay...... There are so many things going on these days, how can you get in time if you don't deal with them quickly? ”
"Why are you so tired, the government can't be dealt with at any time, and you must pay attention to your body occasionally."
Gao Wei sighed, "I want to too, but I don't have time...... what the first emperor left me is a mess, I am fighting for my life now, do more, and the more I can defeat the other side...... I can't let Daqi die in my hands, never! ”
He took his wife into his arms, put his forehead against each other, and said softly:
"I want to lay a big foundation and leave our children a peaceful and prosperous world that they can boast of for eternity. Do you believe me or not? ”
Her eyes turned red and she hugged him tightly.
"I believe in you......"
Husbands and wives don't need so many sweet words to cheer each other up, a "I believe in you" is enough.
………………
The morning sun is like fire, obliquely shining into the Taiji Palace, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces stand in the hall, waiting for the emperor to go to court.
The solemn atmosphere began to spread from the high-level officials, today they did not say a word, just slightly closed their eyes that were boiled red, Mu Ran's expression was full of coldness, and the officials below also began to unconsciously become nervous, they did not know what would happen today, but they knew that what happened today must be a major event, a major event that could cause the entire country and dynasty to shake.
The emperor wearing the imperial crown showed his figure from the main entrance, and the morning sun stretched his shadow long, and the shadow shrouded everyone's heart, and the ministers all bowed down to the shadow, "...... My emperor has no borders!! ”
"All the ministers are flat...... the emperor's lofty gaze swept over the courtiers below, and raised his hand calmly.
“…… Thank you, Your Majesty!! ”
As soon as he went to the court, Zheng Yu, the head of the household department, began to play in class, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although the country is safe now, there are still many drawbacks in the national government...... Although the minister is not talented, he also has some of his own shallow views on national politics, and he also asks His Majesty to accept the advice of the old minister! ”
Gao Wei said: "This is the last dynasty, Zheng Qing has something to say, but it is ......"
"The world has been suffering from the old government for a long time, please Your Majesty, check the household registration of people in the world, and no one shall be allowed to break away from the control of the state!"
Zheng Shangshu's words, of course, are the words of seeking the country, but the timing is not right...... Zu Ting quickly came out and refuted, "The people have just lived a peaceful life, and agricultural production has not yet recovered, how can they be so aggressive?" In this way, this move will no longer be for the country and the people, but will become harmful to the country and the people...... Your Majesty, please be wise! ”
"According to what Dr. Zu said, in the face of such maladministration, shouldn't the imperial court ignore him and sit back and let this problem continue? Dr. Zu is a pillar of the dynasty, and his qualifications are older than the old man, so Dr. Zu should know that taxation is the foundation of the country, and the chaotic household registration and low tax collection efficiency of my Daqi will greatly drag down my dynasty. ”
"The old man is not saying that Zheng Shangshu has anything wrong with your initiative, although it is a time when everything is waiting to be revived, but some new measures want to spread across the country, which is not realistic at all......"
"--Won't you do it if it's difficult?" Zheng Yu bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I won the world by Zen, when Emperor Wenxuan won the country, in order to be stable, he did not make great changes to the national system, so the system of my dynasty basically followed the former Wei Dynasty, and today, many of them are no longer feasible!" ”
"After the former Wei unified the north, in order to adapt to the political and economic dual nature of the Wubao organization formed since the war of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the political and economic nature of production and self-defense was formed, and the suzerain's supervision and protection system was established!
"Under the leadership of the suzerain, or the concealment of a large number of households by a large clan such as 'fifty or thirty families as one household', it is extremely unfavorable to the imperial court's military and financial strength!
"In the tenth year of the former Wei Taihe, Li Chong once said: 'It is advisable to be ancient, with five families to establish a neighbor chief, five neighbors to be a mile long, five miles to establish a party leader, and the long to take the villagers to be strong' The former Wei Dynasty has a three-chief system, with neighbors governing five households, twenty-five households in the li, and one hundred and twenty-five households under the jurisdiction of the party......"
Zu Ting interrupted him: "You are just playing the same old tune, Daqi follows the system of the former Wei Dynasty, can you not know this Manchu Dynasty?" In the third year of the Heqing Dynasty, the first emperor once ordered, 'Ten families are neighbors, fifty families are Luli, and one hundred families are clan parties, and there is one party member within one chief, two people in Luzheng, and three neighbor chiefs, and a total of 14 people...... Compared with the previous Wei, my court collar and Li have doubled, and my dynasty household registration is still strict, the old man thinks that there is no need to increase changes! ”
"No, the reason why the old man changed it is that the root cause is the confusion of my dynasty's household registration, how can I say it strictly? The total amount of taxes and grain collected by our dynasty is less than 60% of the recorded in the household register! Isn't the root cause of this because the grassroots structure of the DPRK and the people of our country is too chaotic? According to the system, when the dynasty implemented the equalization system, the amount of land had to be registered in the household register, which was indeed strict at that time...... But after all, our dynasty took over the stall of the former Wei, after the establishment of our dynasty, there was no large-scale household registration survey, and today, it has long been chaotic, so what the old man said, it is very necessary! ”
The meaning of Zheng Yu's expression is quite obvious, and its core is only one "great memory of the people, the governance of the country", and the household registration is a big thing, affecting all aspects. And those who can do these things for the imperial court are these small officials at the grassroots level in the countryside, who live with the local people and know the local population and relevant conditions best. Zheng Yu believes that the system at the grassroots level of the state has decayed, and the dynasty needs a new system at the grassroots level to maintain its rule.
"I already know Zheng Qing's intentions, but as Zu Qing said, now that agriculture is flourishing, it is not appropriate to make a big move. Therefore, I would like to issue a new decree to make 500 households townships, one person for the first time, a hundred miles for the li, and one person for the longest, and change the grassroots political power into two levels, the township and the li, so as to facilitate the jurisdiction of the villagers and not be too complicated and cumbersome...... From today, Zhaozhou, Jizhou, Jiaozhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Yingzhou, Pingzhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou, Sizhou, Bingzhou and other places will first census household registration and re-register! When the time is ripe, we will expand it until it covers the whole country! ”
The three-long system follows the law of the Qin and Han dynasties, strict, but it is too cumbersome, adding one household and one less household, the workload at the grassroots level will increase, and it will be reported layer by layer, which will increase a lot of trouble, it is better to be convenient, 500 households are townships, 100 miles are miles, which is convenient for the central government to control, and it is also very convenient to deal with.
Zhaozhou and Jizhou are all places under the complete control of the imperial court, and there are no major natural disasters, and there are basically no governance difficulties, hidden dangers and the like, and there will not be any big obstacles to implementation.
Hearing this series of orders from the emperor, how could the officials below not know? I'm afraid that His Majesty has already discussed it with the bigwigs of the imperial court, so he is so fully prepared and promulgated the complete decree in one go, and it is really strictly hidden...... Now it seems that the previous dispute between Zu Ting and Zheng Yu was just intentional......
Gao Wei asked a few more words about other government affairs, and then announced that he would go to court.
Seeing that everyone looked at each other, calling the emperor Shengming, Zu Ting and other ministers glanced at each other vaguely.
They all know that this is just the beginning, and the drama is still waiting for it.
If there is no orgasm of foreplay, can it be called an orgasm?
What the emperor is doing now is just to pave the way for the things to be done next.
The emperor's focus was on the prefectures and counties near Jinyang and Yecheng, where Buddhist forces were intertwined, and the emperor inevitably raised a butcher's knife against them.
"The monks are going to be unlucky first......" Zu Ting gloated.
