Wang Cheng knows what is the situation of the noble, heroic, and eunuch families below, maybe there are some noble, heroic, and official eunuch families who can keep to themselves, but what about two generations, three generations, or even five generations later? Basically, it's all in the same stream.

There may be individuals who betray the class, but there will never be a class that betrays the class.

Perhaps only in real history, in the distant future, has there been some changes, some differences, in a few decades, but they will soon disappear and end.

Under such circumstances, the Daqian court continued to move forward steadily, and the pioneer nobles also continued to grow and develop, devouring and digesting the barbarians who were close to Daqian, and then organizing the people into households.

With this safety valve inside the Great Qian, more and more rangers who were unwilling to settle down and wanted to be crowned marquis immediately began to go to the pioneer nobles. Through this guidance, a large number of people migrated out every year.

The consumption of various materials in the wilderness was very large, and the imperial court set up workshops to start producing materials, and then sold these materials to the nobles who pioneered, by collecting slaves or various local specialties, copper ore, herbs, furs, etc. Through this trade chain, a simple trade cycle is maintained.

After reading these erroneous administrative materials, Wang Cheng realized how difficult it was to implement the law change this time. In fact, every change is a tightrope, and if you are not careful, you will never recover.

At that time, the Huaiguo reform seemed to be calm, that was because the Huaiguo was not too big, and the Wang family could extend their power everywhere.

What is the situation of Daqian now, it is more than ten times bigger than that of Huaiguo back then, Daqian is simply unable to penetrate the power of the imperial family into all corners, and there are only a few people in the imperial family, even if you add the public office.

This kind of thing, let alone now, has not been solved even after more than a thousand years in real history, after the development of science and technology and convenient transportation.

Wang Cheng is diligent and studious, and supports Chao Cuo's change, which makes Chao Cuo very happy. continued to implement the reforms, but Chao Cuo is also 70 years old this year. His energy is not as good as before, but the changes he has implemented have not yet been completed, and the court still has many things that he needs to control.

It's not that he is unwilling to delegate power and let others deal with it, but he knows that there are still many people in the court who are unwilling to change the law, but because of his majesty and the emperor's support, he doesn't dare to do anything.

If he dares to delegate power and let those people do it themselves, even if these people do what he says, in the end, the decree will definitely be out of shape. It's hard to maintain a system, but it's very easy to break a rule.

Throughout the ages, these people have not done this once or twice, but all the time, a simple 'double'. What do you say above, the bottom is very supportive, and then when you do things, you directly increase the code, add some layer to layer, and add some layer to what will become in the end?

In the real history, the imperial court collects taxes, and the imperial court dares to add a penny tax, and when it reaches the bottom, it will collect a tax of ten cents or even a hundred cents. And they will use this method not only to raise taxes, but also to other decrees.

The imperial court will requisition some labor, and those below will requisition twice it, and when they send double the labor, do you say that the official in charge of construction will refuse? No, they will only think that the officials below will behave.

Sending more people can allow them to complete the construction ahead of schedule, and when the time comes, they will not only be rewarded, but also promoted and rich. What do you think they will choose?

In addition to these, it can be said that this is the case in all aspects, layer by layer, which is why in the middle and late dynasties, every time the imperial court wants to raise taxes, the people below will be ruined and displaced, and they can only devote themselves to the family and nobles as house slaves, and the house slaves for generations.

No one is born a slave, and no one wants to be a slave for generations. This is what the people had to do if they wanted to live.

Now Da Qian is in the same situation, Chao Cuo, as the prime minister, has him watching, those people below dare not move, if he doesn't watch, those people below will definitely be like this, and they don't even need to say anything from the people above. It only takes one look and those people know what to do.

Don't think they don't understand, you must know that the people who can become officials now can be said to be the smartest group of people among the tens of millions of people in this era. All of them are human spirits.

To fight with these people and suppress these people, it is simply impossible for ordinary people.

Only the same people who are smarter than them, more ruthless than them, and stronger than them can suppress them.

Just when Wang Cheng was learning those cases and the art of governing the country, Chao Cuo had just issued a decree, and then went to the palace to meet the emperor.

Chao Cuo's journey was unimpeded, although Chao Cuo did not have official positions such as the crown prince and Taibao Taifu, but to some extent, he was also the emperor's teacher.

All the palace attendants bowed their heads respectfully to show respect.

"Your Majesty, peace of mind!"

"Prime Minister Wan'an, sit down!"

Wang Cheng said happily and let Chao Cuo sit opposite him.

"What has Your Majesty learned from studying these days?"

Chao Cuo didn't talk about any changes to the law, these have been compiled into a book, the emperor just needs to read it slowly, what he actually wants to ask is the emperor's views on the world and how he plans to govern in the future.

After all, he is already old and will not be prime minister for a few years.

Wang Cheng understood this, and after pondering for a while, he said: "These days, after reading the various documents of the prime minister's governance, I understand that the world will be so difficult. ”

"Those noble, heroic, and eunuch families are like worms lying on the body of Da Qian, sucking blood, killing them endlessly, and the Daqian court also needs these people to maintain, even if this group of people is replaced, it will not take a few years for another group of people to come to them, and they will become what they are now. There are too few who can maintain their original intentions. ”

"Your Majesty understands that although there are officials who are corrupt and break the law, they can't drive them all away, so they can only continue to send inspectors to supervise the imperial history, and then cut off the carrion, rotten blood, and then inject new blood, as long as the new blood can continue, and the carrion and rotten blood will continue to be removed, the world can be maintained."

"Is there a way to restore the world to what it used to be?" Wang Cheng looked at the prime minister with some expectation.

Chao Cuo sighed and said, "The old minister is incompetent, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

"Prime Minister, you have done a good job, and the emperors and ministers of all dynasties can't do it, how can we do it?" Wang Cheng shook his head and said.

The only lesson that humanity can learn from history is that humanity has never learned any lessons from history.
