Chapter 254 The system of temple numbers was established
Under the impetus of Wang Luo, Han Fei began to build a new city in Luoyang.
In addition to the construction of the city, Wang Luo also started the construction of Chidao, after dominating the world, Wang Luo found the disadvantages of too large territory, many times because of inconvenient transportation, an edict takes one or two months to be transmitted, the efficiency is too low, and even if there is a local rebellion, it is only known in one or two months, which is not conducive to governance.
So the construction of the gallop road began again to speed up the transportation connection. It's just that in this way, more money and food are needed. The Great Cadres fought for many years, and built a large number of buildings and recruited people, which cost a lot of money. Wang Luo was reluctant to raise taxes, and the money and food were somewhat insufficient.
However, this is not without other methods, and even Wang Luo has already thought of a solution.
After Wang Luo pacified the Five Kingdoms, he did not immediately clean up those nobles of the Five Kingdoms and let them continue to exist for a few years.
After seeing that the great cadres did not do anything to them, these nobles soon revealed their true form, and once again returned to their previous appearance, and even intensified their exploitation, did not pay taxes, and hid the population and land.
Over the past few years, these nobles of the Five Kingdoms have accumulated a lot of wealth, which is a huge fortune.
After the construction began this year, Wang Luo finally decided to do something to these old nobles.
In the past, these old nobles were tolerant of other nobles who did not surrender to surrender, but now that the world is unified, those nobles are useless, if they are honest, Wang Luo doesn't mind letting them live, but these nobles don't know how to restrain themselves and wantonly violate the Huai law, then don't blame Wang Luo for turning his face.
With the issuance of Wang Luo's edict, the local officials who had been prepared long ago worked together with Yu Linwei and the secret guards to raid the homes of these nobles.
If the crime is minor, it is only to recover taxes, confiscate some land, and if the crime is serious, the house will be directly confiscated, and then the whole family will move to the newly opened frontier land.
The frontier land is either bitterly cold, or wild, or infestation by Yidi, it is not a good place, these people migrated to the past, and if they want to take root and live, there must be a lot of casualties, but this is also necessary.
Wang Luo didn't want to forcibly relocate the people, so he could only suffer these old nobles.
At the same time, the confiscated land was filled into the official land, and then leased to the people at a rent of 20%, and the people could buy it from the government after five years of cultivation.
There were many nobles in the Five Kingdoms, and under the edict of Wang Luo, hundreds of thousands of homes were raided, and then these nobles were forcibly relocated to the sparsely populated frontier land to enrich the population.
After the money and food were available, the construction of galloping roads began in various places. After having Chidao, Wangji will have close ties with other places. It will also be more convenient to move materials.
Wang Luo handed over the construction of the Chidao to Sun Qian, the minister of state, and arranged for more than a dozen royal children to cooperate.
After becoming the emperor, Daqian carried out restructuring and implemented the county system, but after a few years, Wang Luo found that there were still many problems. From Huaiguo to Daqian, although it seems that it is just a change of name, it has changed very much.
The creation of a nation and the establishment of a new system require constant improvement. If Wang Luo wants to be the first emperor of the ages, he must leave a complete system to the great cadres, including a set of political systems for the court.
At that time, King Huaiwen established the Huai State and formulated the Huai Law, which laid the foundation for the rise of the Huai State, and now it is up to him.
"Secretaries, now that the country has been established by great cadres, it is natural to implement a new system. Since ancient times, the wise men and ministers all wanted to leave their names in history, which shows the importance of the name behind them, so the great cadres still have to implement the name.
In the past 100 years, the princes have been awarded a lifetime merit by the death of the princes, but there is no name for the virtuous ministers. Therefore, the widow decided to implement the nickname of the famous generals and virtuous ministers to evaluate their life merits. ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
The ministers in the main hall were all excited. These ministers all followed Wang Luo to dominate the world and made great achievements, almost all of them had titles, and they all thought that their merits could definitely get a reprimand.
"Your Majesty, if virtuous ministers and nobles can also get nicknames, for the king, just having a nickname is not enough to show the merits of the king, and the minister suggests restarting the temple number system during the Yin Shang period." Li Si next to him suggested to Wang Luo.
Li Si was originally an official of the Qin State, after the surrender of the Qin State, Han Fei recommended to Wang Luo, Wang Luo then summoned him to the school, he was indeed a great talent, so he let him appear in the Huai State, in the past few years, Li Si handled the government affairs in an orderly manner, and offered advice many times, never made mistakes or omissions.
"The ancestors are meritorious, the ancestors are virtuous, and the temple number is based on the ancestor or the ancestor, which is a kind of praise to the ancestors."
"Li Qing's blunt words are very agreeable!" Wang Luo immediately agreed.
So the edict decreed that in addition to the implementation of the name, the Daqian also restored the temple number system in the Yin Shang period. The implementation of the name and the temple number is also a supervision for future generations. And in addition to the king, there are also important ministers of the imperial court, the three dukes and nine ministers, and the princes of the county and other ministers must be included in it, and they can discuss the name after death.
There is also a difference between the temple number and the temple name. The nickname is to praise and depreciate the merits and demerits in life, and there are both upper and lower ones. Nowadays, people still value face very much, and the problem of nicknames is rarely deceitful. The temple number is a praise to the ancestors.
"Your Majesty, if the temple number is just a praise, will it be abused by the juniors? Just as there is no bad how to show good? ”
People still have to be embarrassed nowadays, after all, it is still common for courtiers to give bad names to absurd kings. For example, King Zhou Li, King Zhou Ra, King Chu Li and so on.
Sun Qian said with a smile: "The temple number follows the principle that the ancestors have merit and the ancestors have virtue, and the ancestors who have no merit do not belittle and do not go to the temple number." ”
The ministers in the main hall also felt that it was very appropriate when they heard it, there was no temple number, which was a kind of derogation in itself, as the so-called, everyone else has it, and you don't, aren't you embarrassed?
When the time comes, will the ancestors with the temple number be put together, and the ones without the temple number will be put together?
"The ancestor King Wen, the emperor poured the sky into Huai, collected the old people of Yin Shang, re-established the Huai country, set the law of Huai, and rejuvenated agriculture and mulberry, and there was the prosperity of today's great cadres. The widow felt that he should go to the temple for the ancestor King Wen. Wang Luo said loudly.
The ministers responded: "Your Majesty! ”
"The most honorable one of the temple names is Taizu, which can only be used by the holy king of the foundation of the dynasty, and the minister thinks that only the name of Taizu can be used, called King Taizu Wen."
"Accurate!" Wang Luo said immediately.
At the same time, the emperor was given the temple number and the nickname, which was a reward for the emperor and the inheritance of the Bangzhou and Yin Shang systems. The temple number system is not only a spur to the king, but also a spur to the minister. After all, ministers also want to go down in history. An epigram that allows you to write on the first page of the genealogy.
In the land of China, no one can refuse this temptation.
After discussing the temple number, Wang Luo and the ministers also began to discuss the improvement of other systems in Huaiguo.
