Chapter 631 State and County System (Subscription Requested)

In this way, Lu Chuan stayed in the study for almost a day.

In the evening, he invited Wen Zhong to the mansion for discussion.

Wen Zhong was surprised after passing the mansion: "Senior brother, why ......did you come to me so late?"

Lu Chuan's expression was serious: "Senior brother, there is something now, you must support me." ”

"What?"

"I want to ...... Abolish the sub-feudal system!"

"What did you say?" Wen Zhong's expression changed and he looked at Lu Chuan in surprise.

Lu Chuan shook his head: "I'm not joking, this system may be conducive to stabilizing the order of the current situation at that time, strengthening the authority of the king and ruling over the world, but the shortcomings are equally obvious, you see I have already listed it, you can take a look." ”

He handed Wen Zhong a bamboo slip.

Wen Zhong took the bamboo slip and opened it and looked at it seriously, his expression becoming solemn little by little.

"It is true that the king has absolute authority, but the current princes have too much power, and the power in their fiefdoms is too independent and no one can control it. ”

Lu Chuan walked over and closed the door, and said: "People's ambitions will grow, and it doesn't seem that there is peace between the princes, and there are often wars, senior brother, let me ask you, why did you go to suppress Yuan Futong in the north in the first place?"

Wen Zhong said in a deep voice: "Yuan Futong disobeyed the king's orders and launched a war against the surrounding princes to annex it, and his heart can be punished!"

"That's right, this is what I said about the strength of the princes will also increase little by little, you see how far the four princes have grown this time. ”

Lu Chuan sighed with emotion: "The power of this prince is too great, so we must take back the hands of the king." ”

"How to collect it, if you want to abolish this system, you must have something new to replace it. Wen Zhong's eyes moved.

He was tempted by Lu Chuan's proposal, he was not a fool, Lu Chuan analyzed the pros and cons so clearly, what else did he think?

The only thing is that to abolish a system, there must be a substitute, and a better one.

Otherwise, if the entire Yin Shang is abolished, it will be a complete chaos.

Lu Chuan smiled and said, "You open the back of the bamboo slip and take a look." ”

Speaking of this, he also had a plan, choosing to abolish the feudal system first, and temporarily go to the officials to be directly appointed by the central government.

Otherwise, if he is directly appointed, it will be tantamount to abolishing the current "hereditary official system" and moving the cake of this group of nobles, and these officials will dare to turn their faces against him regardless of whether they have a relationship with him or not.

Under the current system, their official positions can be hereditary, regardless of whether the descendants have the ability or not.

But if the secular official system is to be abolished, won't future generations be able to be officials directly?

Now Lu Chuan doesn't dare to touch the aristocracy, and when the state and county system is implemented, it will not be too late to engage in these aristocratic moths. New Bayi Chinese Network debuted

Well?

He has a feeling like a woodpecker, he used to be teaching to catch insects, and now he is coming to Dashang to catch insects.

Wen Zhong opened the back and stared: "The state and county system, the state, county, and county ......"

Gradually, Wen Zhong's eyes lit up, and the light in his eyes became brighter the further back: "Senior brother, come up with it here?"

Lu Chuan coughed dryly: "This is what I am inspired by, junior brother, I am thinking on the shoulders of giants." "The new 81 Chinese network is updated the fastest Mobile:://

Whether it is a county system or a state and county system, there are only two levels: county, county or state and county, but this is a world of immortals and demons!

Not to mention anything else, this entire Shenzhou is too big, and the Central Plains alone is vast for tens of millions of miles.

It is definitely not enough to use only two levels, so he integrated the two systems into three levels, and of course, below the county level, you can also subdivide townships, pavilions, and li.

Compared with the feudal system, this prefecture and county system is of greater significance, as it can strengthen the centralization of power and local management, prevent local separatism and division, and contribute to political stability and economic development, so that Kyushu can be unified.

Saying that, Wen Zhong hesitated again: "But now that the rebellion for many years has just been put down, and the world has been decided, do you think it would be better to let the people stabilize for a while?"

"On the contrary, now those princes are defeated and afraid, and even if they resist, they have no strength to resist, so it is time to abolish the feudal system. ”

Lu Chuan's eyes flashed and said: "But waiting for a while is tantamount to giving them a chance to breathe, and if we want to abolish it when the time comes, then they will definitely resist desperately." ”

"Okay!" Wen Zhong nodded immediately: "Just do as you say!"

Lu Chuan smiled: "Okay, I will rely on my senior brother to support me tomorrow." ”

The stakes are very high, and he must communicate with Wen Zhong in advance, otherwise it will be a little sudden to say it directly in the court, which will make it difficult for people to react.

The next day, the morning dynasty, although it was early spring, but the weather was still a little chilly.

After the new king succeeded to the throne, the merit reward meeting began.

"This Yin Shang was able to last for eighteen years and pacify the rebellion of the princes, and the lonely teacher Lu Dafu contributed a lot. ”

Wu Geng looked at the bottom and said, "Lone will seal Lu Shi as the position of Yaxiang today, and I hope that Lu Shi will not live up to Lone's expectations." ”

Hearing this, all the ministers silently exchanged glances, nodded secretly, and a look flashed in their eyes as expected.

They see Lu Chuan's merits in their eyes, and in the civil service of Dashang, Taishi is the leader, followed by the prime minister, and then the second minister, ranking above all civil officials.

Taishi is still Wen Zhong, a gray and gray old man, but now he is getting younger and younger, which makes them envious in their hearts.

The opposite of him is Cheng Bi, the more he lives, the older he gets, and now he is old and decrepit, and he can't do it for a few years, and Lu Chuan is now Yaxiang.

After a few years, who else can there be besides Lu Chuan when Bigan retires from the position of prime minister?

"Thank you, King Long!"

It was also at this time that Lu Chuan came out of the class to play: "The king, the minister has something to play!"

"Master Lu, what's the matter?" Wu Geng was stunned.

He has a lot of respect for Lu Chuan now, not only because he knows that this teacher is powerful, but also because his father Di Xin asked him to listen to the teacher more when he had a secret conversation with him at Bishui Pass.

And after returning this time, his mother Concubine Huang also wanted him to be extremely respectful.

Lu Chuan said: "The ministers thought that the rebellion of the princes was because the feudal system made them have too much power in their hands, making the vassal states stronger and stronger, so the ministers thought that after this chaos, the king should abolish the feudal system and the vassal states, and change the new system to determine the world!"

As soon as the words came out, it was as if a spring thunder sounded in the hall, and the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces looked over at once.

Except for Wen Zhong, who knew in advance, the eyes of the other ministers were all shocked and surprised.

Another change to a new system?

The origin of this sub-feudal system has long been unknown, but it is said that it was implemented when Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was in power, and this Lord Lu actually let the system be changed......

The ministers exchanged in a low voice.

"Changed to ...... Is it new?" Wu Geng's expression was slightly condensed.

There is never a winner in a war!

Although they killed countless rebels, a sea of corpses and blood, and suppressed the princes, the price paid by Yin Shang was not insignificant.

Not only did hundreds of thousands of soldiers bury their bones in Xiqi, Yin Shang almost perished, and even his father Di Xin failed to come back when he was on a personal expedition.

"What do you think?" Wu Geng looked at the others.

Although he was young, he saw so many killings, bloodshed, and corpses on this trip to Xiqi, and after the war, it also made his immature face more mature, and he had a trace of the demeanor of a king.

The ministers were still discussing in a low voice, their expressions were serious, very serious.

Bigan also frowned and whispered something to Wen Zhong in front of him.

Lu Chuan looked at them with a calm expression, not in a hurry at all.

How much damage this rebellion of the princes caused to Yin Shang, these ministers couldn't be clearer in their hearts, even the first emperor Xin died on the road to the west.

Therefore, these ministers will give his proposal extremely serious consideration.

If he can come up with a new system instead, then everything will basically fall into place.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter needs to be considered carefully. ”

At the critical moment, Wen Zhong cooperated with the singing of white faces, looked at Lu Chuan and said: "Lord Lu, the change of the new system is very important, if you want to change, you also need an alternative system, you can't change it if you want to." ”

Lu Chuan secretly praised it in his heart, took out a scroll from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, this is a new system that the ministers have worked hard to come up with to replace it, and I also ask the king to look at it with the ministers." ”

The waiter passed the note to Wu Geng, and after reading it, Wu Geng felt that he couldn't understand it but felt that it was very powerful.

So he showed it to the ministers, and then this recital was passed among the ministers one by one.

"State and County System ......"

After reading it, all the ministers showed a look of shock on their faces, and they looked at the tall man standing in the hall in surprise.

Although it was not the first time they had seen Lord Lu's outstanding talents, they were shocked every time.

The state and county system is set up under the central government, and a state has a state pastor, a county is set up under the state, a county is set up as a taishou, a county is set up under the county, and a county is set up as a county order!

In addition, there are two officials who are in charge of administrative, military, and supervisory duties, and no longer hold power in the hands of one person.

Such a system is feasible in the absence of officials directly appointed by the central government to protect their interests.

They also now understand that it is never a good thing for the princes to have too much power, and this time the lesson is profound and painful enough.

"It's ...... The old minister has no opinion. ”

Wen Zhong originally wanted to blow each other commercially, but after thinking about it, he stopped.

After reading it, he looked relieved when he looked at Lord Lu again, and looked like he had a successor: "The old minister has no objections." ”

"No objection!"

"There is no ...... for ministers"

"Okay!" Wu Geng said in a deep voice: "Then we will do what Lu Shi said, abolish the division and seal, and implement the state and county system in full." ”

For the princes who killed his father, he hated as much as he wanted in his heart now.

Next, Lu Chuan and the ministers discussed in the court, and finally divided the territory of Yin Shang into 36 prefectures, 100 and 8 counties, and more than 1,500 counties, which reduced the power of the earlier princes a lot.

This is only a preliminary formulation, and the number of these states, counties, and counties will increase in the future.

After being agreed, the royal decree abolishing the feudal system also reached the hands of the major princes, and the state and county system was officially implemented throughout the country.

At the same time, Lord Lu also prepared a soldier and horse, played once, and took precautions, as long as any prince did not comply with this system, he would lead people to destroy whom.

In fact, now he only needs one person, one horse and one sword, and he can even capture a city without even using the Immortal Sword.

It's a pity that this disappointed him after all.

A month later, the decree of changing the new system spread everywhere, but as he said to Wen Zhong, those princes were not long after they were beaten and were afraid of being beaten, and their injuries were not healed, so where did they dare to resist?

So the major princes were abolished, of course, there are more cooperative ones, such as Jizhou Hou Su Quanzhong, Beibohou Chongheihu and others.

These were all people who had not participated in the rebellion earlier, so Lu Chuan deliberately played Wu Geng and gave them the official position of a state pastor in the thirty-sixth, but they must have been transferred out of their original fiefdoms.

In addition, the implementation of this new system has created many new vacancies.

In the past, the official position of Chaoge was more monks and less porridge, but now this can allow many noble children to have officials.

After coming to the door to praise Lord Lu's gifts, these noble children who did not learn and did not know how to take office happily.

In front of the National Teacher's Mansion, Lord Lu smiled and waved his hand to send their carriage away.
