Fusu's face was heavy.

Just thinking about that scene made him shudder.

He looked at Ji Heng and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. has seen the hidden dangers, I don't know if Mr. has a solution?" ”

Ji Heng ignored it.

Just continued to drink the tea, and when the bowl of tea was drunk, he put down the tea bowl and said lightly: "You don't need to be so nervous and worried, Haoqiang and the squire are indeed extremely harmful, but if they really have the ability to subvert the world, how can they always be suppressed by the nobles and scholars?" The reason for this is that in addition to Haoqiang's intention to avoid concessions, the more important thing is the lack of strength. ”

"Haoqiang and the squire don't have that strength."

"However, Haoqiang and the squire were not noticed in the past."

"It's really profitable."

"But as I said before, Haoqiang actually belongs to the class of 'scholars', but belongs to the lowest 'scholars', and their status is lower than that of ordinary scholars, and everything they have is actually attached to 'power'."

"They don't have the power themselves."

"So I can only rely on the officials."

"Therefore, the targeting of Haoqiang will ultimately fall on the targeting of officials."

"It's just that the officials are not easy to target, the local fish and dragons are mixed, various forces are entrenched, and the imperial court's control over the local area is not so strong, and rashly acting against the officials will only force more forces to oppose Qin."

Fusu was silent.

This is indeed a problem.

It's just that according to Ji Heng, aren't the policies he continues to implement all aimed at officials in the end?

Why did Ji Heng say that he had the greatest influence on Haoqiang and the squire?

He was a little puzzled.

Just when Fusu was secretly suspicious, he suddenly thought of something, and he reacted instantly, these policies do have a great impact on the local political pattern, and they will also cause great turmoil to local officials, but even if the fight between officials is fierce, it is only infighting, and in the end it will only show the replacement of 'Haoqiang'.

And the original Haoqiang will not sit still.

Therefore, they will only collude with local officials and try to suppress these exiled officials, or even kill them directly, so as to eradicate the threat to their own family, which also means that, to a certain extent, local officials can profit from it.

Because Haoqiang will only benefit the officials more in order to protect himself.

But that's not true either.

The arrival of new officials will definitely affect the original pattern of the local area, and the local officials will probably not stop there, and they will have to make a dragon and tiger fight in the local area, but this seems to have little impact on the imperial court.

In a thought.

Fusu had a strange look on his face.

However, soon, Fusu calmed down, if the newly appointed officials can change the old pattern of the place, it is acceptable, if not, then it proves that the water is no longer poured there, and the imperial decree is afraid that it has always been perfunctory.

How is this different from the fiefdoms of the past?

How can this court tolerate it?

Fusu arched his hand and said: "Then according to Mr.'s opinion, what should the imperial court do?" ”

"And from Fusu's point of view, no matter how the officials change, the biggest influence is Haoqiang, they are afraid that they will not sit still, and they will definitely make all kinds of targets, but Fusu is a little puzzled, what will Haoqiang do? Do they really dare to act against Qin? ”

Ji Heng shook his head.

He chuckled and said, "I have the heart to act against Qin, but whether I have the courage or not may not be." ”

"They are not aristocrats."

"All they control is the land."

"Even if you are anti-Qin, I am afraid of making more wedding dresses for others."

"How could they easily cut themselves off for their own lives?"

"The land is something that can't be moved, it can't be moved, they don't have a prominent family background like the aristocracy, and they don't have the hundreds of years of money accumulation like the aristocracy.

"Today's powerful forces are too weak."

"But this weakness is only temporary, with the withdrawal of nobles and scholars, Haoqiang will definitely step by step on the stage of history, now Haoqiang is just colluding with officials, using this to fish and meat in the township, oppress the locality, and wait until they themselves enter and exit the official career, for the officials and officials, and control the power of one party, Haoqiang will become a real local scholar!"

"Therefore, the system of making the head of the Qianqian from the real field must be abolished."

"The return of land to the public must also be continued."

"It's just that it's not time yet, but it's time for Haoqiang to recognize the current situation."

"There is no way to directly eradicate this kind of thing."

"The only thing the court can do."

"It's just to let Haoqiang change it every once in a while."

"Avoid being strong and bigger."

"What can really be avoided is to break the old local pattern, introduce new forces, set off the wrestling of local forces, and then let the local avoid always being the dominant one."

"The 'scholar' class must always be on guard."

"Their hearts won't die."

"But if you just blatantly target the local officialdom and let the local officialdom change its face, the current control of the imperial court over the local government will not be able to do it at all, and the local officials will not be convinced, so they can only go back to the old way of the past."

"Co-opting, dividing, and suppressing."

"Divide the local forces into parts."

"Win over a part, suppress a part, and divide a part."

"Then let the officials of the imperial court be able to intervene in it, so as to strengthen the local control of the imperial court in the future, forming a landing point, and now the local court is still afraid of the imperial court, and the prestige of the first emperor can still deter the locality, so it should be fast rather than slow."

Fu Su bowed his head.

But he was a little puzzled: "But these officials in the Kanto region have been serving in the local area for many years, and they are afraid that they will be deeply rooted, and they have been connected with each other for many years. ”

"How can this be?"

Ji Heng sneered and said disdainfully: "The fortresses are all disintegrated from the inside, they may indeed be very united now, and they are also united with the outside world, and they cover each other up for the problems that arise, but the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit." ”

"Once there is a profit involved."

"No matter how united an ally is, it will become vulnerable."

"They won't be an exception."

Fusu sat upright.

He took a deep breath to keep himself calm, and said in a deep voice, "Please also elaborate, sir." ”

Ji Heng chuckled.

He poured himself a new bowl of tea.

Subsequently.

Ji Heng said with a deep gaze: "You actually don't know much about this, the harm of collusion between officials and Haoqiang is far greater than you imagined, and it is much greater, but Haoqiang has been around for a short time, and there are indeed not many people who can realize their harm right now." ”

"It's understandable."

"Do you think the imperial court should suppress those officials?"

Fusu frowned.

He looked down in deep thought, uncertain, "Field-related sifu?" ”

Ji Heng shook his head.

Fusu said again: "Officials related to personnel? ”

Ji Heng shook his head again.

Fusu looked at Ji Heng, hesitated for a moment, and spoke again: "Who is the imperial history and judge related to the law?" ”

Ji Heng still shook his head.

Looked at.

Fusu smiled bitterly.

He said helplessly: "Fusu can't think of it, and ask Mr. to make it clear." ”

"Salt Officer, Iron Official." Ji Heng Road.

Hear the words.

Fusu was stunned.

"Salt officer, iron official?" Fusu looked at Ji Heng in disbelief, and said in a condensed voice: "Sir, did you say something wrong?" Didn't Fusu create this related official office? These government offices have not been established for a long time, so how much do they have to do with local tyrants? ”

Fusu was really a little confused.

Ji Heng smiled faintly and said calmly: "It is precisely because it was established not long ago, and it is led by you, so starting with the salt official and iron official, it is the least easy to fall into the mouth, and it is also the easiest to be accepted by the locality." ”

"Why is that?" Fusu asked.

Ji Heng said one word simply and clearly: "Li." ”

Fusu frowned.

"Salt and iron, whether from production, transportation and sales, will generate a lot of benefits."

"It's just that in the past, these interests fell to a large extent into the pockets of the imperial court, but it has been two years since the implementation of the New Salt and Iron Deal, how can there be no shady scenes in it? And how can it not breed corruption? ”

"With such a rich benefit, how can it not make people blush?"

"But do you think that in the end, these benefits really fell on the heads of local officials?"

Fusu shook his head.

This is not necessarily possible.

If there is really a situation of greed for ink.

The officials at the head must have the majority, and the other officials can only be envious.

Forthwith.

Fusu also understood.

If the problem is really found, these officials will definitely be investigated and punished, so how can they not be jealous of the local officials if such a vacant position is vacated? This will inevitably lead to a struggle between the magistrates, and then there will be a tear for their unity.

It's just that this practice of injuring 800 enemies and injuring 1,000 yourself.

He was also quite helpless.

It's all his own money.

Ji Heng's eyes were deep, and he said quietly: "It is not enough to only check the salt and iron, and it is not worth it, but it is still promising to extend to the 'city officials' through the salt and iron." ”

"Daqin is promoting a bazaar."

"Each county has its own market."

"There is also a lot of oil and water, and you used to rely on salt and iron to make money, and now you check it into the 'market', it will not attract too many people to oppose it, and the local government has only lost the interests of a small number of officials, and what has been vacated is the three official offices with big oil and water."

"How could they not be impressed?"

"And as long as the court investigates, there will definitely be relevant officials."

"That's the old pattern."

"When the time comes, the imperial court will arrange people to go down, and they will want to control it well."

Hear the words.

Fusu nodded excitedly.

He has a deep understanding of the windfall profits of salt and iron, and the windfall profits of the market are actually not inferior to salt and iron.

There are many types of 'cities' in Daqin, such as the free market dominated by private traders called 'Jia City', the government-run 'Guanfu City' which belongs to the state-run economy, and the 'military market' that meets the daily needs of frontier soldiers and soldiers.

He used to only affect salt and iron.

If you can control the market.

He believed that the money and grain collected by the imperial court would only increase.

Daqin is very short of money.

Ji Heng's suggestion immediately won Fusu's approval.

He rejoiced, "That's a good plan." ”

"Daqin has made a lot of moves this year and spent a lot of money and grain, so it needs to find money and grain, and salt and iron have indeed collected less money and grain in the past two years, so the court has every excuse to check, and the market is also the bulk of the past taxes, and the court is justified in order to collect money."

"It doesn't cause too many people to be sensitive."

"Through this move, the imperial court can not only ensure the tax revenue of money and grain on salt and iron, but also collect more relevant municipal taxes to a certain extent, which is also a great supplement to the already somewhat empty treasury of Great Qin."

"The most important thing is that it all makes sense."

"In this way, although the imperial court cannot really control the local municipal tax, but after this incident, it can also collect a lot of municipal tax, and it can also allow local officials to fight with each other, stir up the local situation, make them have no energy to fight against the imperial court, and then reduce their threat to the imperial court."

"Kill more than one stone."

"Miaomiao!"

Fusu couldn't help but applaud.

Ji Heng shook his head.

Fusu was a little too optimistic.

He didn't think about the importance of salt and iron at all.

and the imperial court's decree, the shock and panic of the relevant official offices.

How can they really sit still?

Winter will begin in a few months.

If there is a mess in salt and iron at this time, it will only cause greater turmoil, and if you want to really implement it, you must ensure the normal supply of salt and iron, but this is something that Fusu did not take into account.

He sighed in his heart.

Fusu's insight into human nature is still insufficient.

He said coldly: "The decree is not a decree, and the officials will do it, but when it comes to their own lives, how can they really obey?" Moreover, the court tightened its control over officials, and this discerning person could see it, how could they not notice it? ”

"Plan before you act."

"It's not okay to think only about the result and not about the process."

"You're thinking too little."

Hear the words.

Fusu calmed down.

The excitement on his face disappeared in an instant.

Instead, apprehension.

He arched his hand uneasily and said: "Fusu is a little carried away, but Mr.'s idea is really wonderful, Fusu can't help but get carried away, please forgive me." ”

Ji Heng shook his head and said: "Attracting and dividing depends on interests. ”

"And the benefits don't come in vain."

"Just a transfer."

"Before the court is really implemented, the local officials will not be infighting, let alone attack each other, only when the dust settles, these irrelevant officials will beat the water dogs, and before that, they will only wait and see what happens, but these targeted officials, how can they be indifferent? How can they ignore it? Let the court knife and axe fall on your head? ”

"The shipwreck in Huaixian County has only been two years ago."

Hearing the wreck of Huaixian, Fusu's face changed suddenly, and the whole person instantly became serious.

The shipwreck in Huaixian County back then, but it scared him a lot, if it happened again in Kanto, he was not sure that he could solve it properly, once there was a problem with salt and iron involving tens of millions of people, it would really be a big deal.

"Fusu was wrong." Fusu Road.

Ji Heng snorted coldly and said indifferently: "The imperial court should indeed rectify the salt, iron and market, but this cannot be said openly, let alone known to outsiders, and can only be implemented after everything is ready." ”

"Otherwise, it's self-defeating."

"Even."

"A complete defeat."

"Cultivating people to win the sky, this is what you should do."
