Chapter 91: Implementing a New Deal, Su Hu Rebellion (Today's Second Vote)
On the main hall, the Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair, quietly looking at the gods of Danxia, and all those who made contact with him trembled and bowed their heads silently.
In the past three years, while vigorously developing the economy and construction, Zhang Zixing also attached great importance to the rule of officials, severely punished corruption, and set up a number of supervision agencies openly and secretly; after punishing several typical examples of corruption in public and confiscating all family property, the ministers who were still lucky suddenly understood the determination of the Son of Heaven, and the frightened Fei Zhong even took the initiative to hand over most of the family property to "enrich" the treasury, and also received the praise and reward of the Son of Heaven. After this treatment, the phenomenon of ** has been greatly reduced, and the people are applauding. How can such a wise and wise Son of Heaven who has won the hearts of the people not be in awe?
"Do you have any objections?" Zhang Zixing's words made the ministers talk in a low voice again, but none of them came out to speak.
"If there is no objection, from tomorrow, the new policy will be fully implemented in the territory of Dashang. ”
Doctor Zhao Qisu is famous for his direct advice, and after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and played: "Your Majesty, the subordinates have this music." Your Majesty's amnesty for the slaves and the granting of land was originally a merciful act, but as far as the ministers of the central government and the generals of the border gates, they were fundamentally shaken and suffered serious losses.
Zhao Qi was the first bird, and many ministers immediately jumped out to second.
"Doctor Shang's words are different!" The first person to come out to oppose was Fei Zhong, "You don't see that Dongqi was still a barren land in the past." It has only been two years since the implementation of the new policy, and the success is obvious to all, and now the Eastern Qi Dynasty has become a rich country. Even Dongbohou has been operating Donglu for many years, and many Donglu people have moved to Dongqi regardless of strict orders. If we implement the new policy in the whole territory, we will not only be able to save the world's suffering slaves from dire straits. It can also make my great business strength several times stronger, and the world will be rich, which is really a holy move!"
Fei Zhong's appearance was immediately seconded by Fei Lian, Fan and others, and many ministers who agreed with Zhao Qi's opinion couldn't help but secretly complain when they saw Fei Zhong stand up, and many of them secretly retreated - this dead fat man is not simple, and the doctor in the official residence is nothing. The trouble is that he is deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, and he uses his position to control a large number of personal officials. Some things are even shady, if you provoke him, and reveal a little bit in that quarterly, the least consequence is that you will be ruined. Besides, this fat man always values life and power, and has no support from the Son of Heaven. Where will this come out?
Zhang Zixing looked at the scene below, and suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't cry or laugh, the notorious "traitorous ministers" actually supported a new policy that benefited the country and the people. And it was the "loyal ministers" who objected, of course, as some ministers had speculated: Fei Zhong took the lead this time, and he had been instructed in advance to take the lead.
Although many people retreated, Zhao Qi's side was still not small, and Mei Bo was also a bold guy, and he even reprimanded Fei Zhong loudly: "Although the Eastern Qi Dynasty has achieved a small result with a new political strategy, after all, it is a law to govern the people, how can it be copied for the use of my great business!
Hearing the words "the world is in chaos", Zhang Zixing's eyes flashed, revealing a faint smile. Regarding Mei Bo's high profile, Fei Lian, who is also in Fei Zhong's camp, did not show weakness, and shot back: "Mei Bo is alarmist, so bold and bold! Your Majesty Pingdong once said in the past that Dongyi has been renamed Qi, and will always serve the big merchants, and there will be no difference between merchants and Yi people from now on, and Your Majesty's Concubine Diyue Niangniang is also the lord of the Qi people, what is your intention in saying this? Please treat him for an alarmist crime!"
Mei Bo was speechless for a while, Zhang Zixing was not in a hurry to punish the crime, but asked Wen Taishi and the two prime ministers: "Sanqing is my minister, what is your opinion?"
"Your Majesty is the supreme in the world, the old ministers and generals are deeply favored by the king, and they dare not forget, my great business soldiers are all iron-blooded men, loyal, and only His Majesty's holy will is obeyed. Wen Taishi's words expressed the meaning of the military, and Shang Rong also agreed, and when the ministers heard it, their hearts suddenly cooled.
Bigan said: "This matter is not trivial, if it is popularized in the world, it will also be difficult, not to mention that the situation in different countries is different, it is better to adapt measures to local conditions." His Majesty may first implement the new policy within his jurisdiction, revise it according to its progress, and summon the four princes to the court to agree on the laws to be implemented in each locality. ”
What Bigan said was no longer a question of "agreeing or disagreeing", but how to carry out and implement the detailed rules of the new policy, and the ministers saw that these three important ministers all agreed, and knew that the general trend had gone, so they had to second. Only a few hard-liners such as Zhao Qi and Mei Bo still insist on their own views on the grounds that "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished" or "the foundation of society cannot be shaken."
Zhang Zixing knew that these people were all hard bones, and there was a plot of their death advice, so he was not angry, and said lightly: "You don't hesitate to offend the monarch for the sake of direct advice, you can be regarded as loyal ministers, but I don't know who you are 'loyal' to?"
Zhao Qi and the others were stunned for a moment, Zhang Zixing's tone suddenly raised, and he asked: "Since the widow ascended the throne, he has devoted himself to his wisdom and dedication, and has devoted himself to serving the country and the people! Now the implementation of the new policy is only for the sake of the common people in the world, just to reproduce the prosperity of the great business! But you are for the partial interests of the nobles and nobles, ignoring the great plans of the country and the people's livelihood, let me ask you, are you 'loyal' for the country, or 'loyal' for the secretary?"
Zhao Qi and the others were sweating profusely when they heard this, and Zhang Zixing used the Eastern Qi Dynasty as an example to clarify the necessity and urgency of implementing reforms, and emphasized the key role of the "people" to the "country". Under the whip of the principle of "the country is important", Zhao Qi and Mei Bo, who boasted of their loyalty, consciously gave in and were speechless. Zhang Zixing took the opportunity to commend their past loyalty, not to punish but to reward, and ordered them to be the supervisors of the new policy, and awarded them important positions, Zhao Qi and others were convinced, knelt on the ground and thanked them, saying that they must live up to the king's trust.
When the ministers saw that the Son of Heaven had used such a method, and in a few words, the strongest opponents of the New Deal had turned into staunch supporters, and they were terrified in their hearts, and they did not dare to disagree.
Chaoge's new policy was basically the same as that of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, except that certain adjustments were made in the preferential policies of the nobles and the proportion of land ownership, and the interests of the nobles were appropriately increased. However, Zhang Zixing learned the lessons of feudal land system in previous dynasties. Individual land ownership existed in large quantities for a long time after the economic retention of large amounts of state land and the ensured conversion of slaves into peasants. to preserve a large class of individual peasants in the service of the state. The land ownership system of the destructive aristocracy must be added
, control, so as not to repeat the mistakes of history too quickly.
The current situation of the Great Shang is that most of the fertile land is in the hands of the nobles, and for the wasteland. The commoners lacked enthusiasm and enthusiasm for reclamation, and were unwilling to reclaim wasteland, so a vicious circle was formed, and agriculture was firmly grasped by slave owners. 1. Emancipate slaves and give them precious freedom. Farewell to the most barbaric human social system; Second, the slaves' enthusiasm for labor for freedom will be unprecedentedly high, and the large-scale reclamation of wasteland will not only lay the foundation for the feudal system that will follow. Third, it can greatly weaken the control of the slave owners over agriculture headed by the nobles and scholars, and prepare for further restructuring.
Of course, this kind of land system, which seems to be advanced at present, has considerable drawbacks after all, and the political dependence on the aristocracy and landlords will make their land ownership system stronger in the future. In turn, it encroaches on and destroys the state-owned land ownership system and the peasant land ownership system, and as a result, it destroys the foundation of the country's economy and leads to the weakness of the country and the poverty of the people. Class contradictions intensified and the dynasty came to an end.
However, Zhang Zixing didn't think about so many long-term issues, because it was not important to him. This far-reaching and far-reaching reform is just one step in his plan.
After Zhang Zixing explained the details of the new policy and relevant decrees, he arranged a series of personnel and set a date to notify the four princes to come to the court to discuss matters.
After the dispersal, Zhang Zixing looked at the sky and whispered: "Now that the name of benevolence and righteousness has been shaken in his hands, it depends on how the princes are 'unjust', even if the world is going to be chaotic, they must be controlled in their own hands......"
When Nuwa Temple asked the right question, he once proposed to use the position of the emperor to quell the killing, but Nuwa Niangniang refused, which shows that even if he governed the world more steadily before, he still could not change the fate of the immortals to use the war in the world to complete the killing and robbery.
If there is no movement, then it is just to reform step by step, first to reform the system, and then to the military, to weaken the power of the princes step by step, to concentrate power in their own hands, and to see who still has the strength to commit rebellion. This is exactly the development route proposed by Zhang Zixing to the former Emperor B in Zhaoxuan Hall when he was the king of Shou.
As expected, as soon as the news of the new policy was about to spread to the world, there was constant commotion among the princes from all walks of life, and the confiscation of most of the land and the liberation of slaves in the new policy were even more unacceptable to many princes and nobles, but the small nobles, commoners, and slaves who received the latest news and benefits from the "Great Shang Quarterly" were overjoyed, and hoped that the new policy could be realized in their places of residence as soon as possible. Strangely, the reaction of the four princes was very calm, and they took delayed countermeasures to the convening order of the Son of Heaven, some said that they were seriously ill and could not move, and some said that foreign invasions needed to be resisted, but they refused to come.
Time passed day by day, and under the provocation of someone with a heart, the first bird finally appeared, and this person is still an important figure in the "plot" - Jizhou Hou Suhu.
Jizhou is located in the north, is one of the nine states of Dayu, quite prosperous, is the center of antiquity, strategic and geographical location is extremely important. Su Hu has been in Jizhou for many years, known as ambitious, with tens of thousands of heavy soldiers, and many brave generals under his command, especially the eldest son Su Quanzhong. Now, taking advantage of the implementation of the new policy by the Son of Heaven and the unstable hearts of the princes of the world, Su Hu, who has received some promises, finally can't suppress his ambition and embarks on the road of rebellion, and openly says: The king is bad and the minister's foundation is contrary to the ancestral rites. Jizhou Su Hu, never go to business.
Su Hu rebelled, many princes responded, Beihai Yuan Futong even gathered the seventy-two princes to rebel together, and the king of Pingling in the East China Sea also took advantage of the situation to rebel.
In the face of the urgent situation, Zhang Zixing, who is the Son of Heaven, did not panic, the movements of these anti-bone boys had long been expected by him, especially Su Hu, if he could hold back, he would really have to re-evaluate him.
Zhang Zixing ordered the generals of the general army of each pass to strictly guard their posts and beware of changes, and at the same time ordered the rebels to be eliminated. In the original, Beihai Yuan Futong was a tricky guy, and Wen Taishi didn't know if he was related to him, and it took fifteen years to exterminate it, causing no one to control the king of Zhou, and the foundation of the Shang Dynasty was wiped out. In any case, Beihai is not good for Wen Zhong, so he can't be sent, Zhang Zixing thought about it, and sent Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu as the main commander, and gave Bai Huangcheng, his brother Caozhou Hou Chong Heihu as the deputy marshal, and the brothers fought against Yuan Futong together. Beihai was originally under the jurisdiction of Chonghou Hu, and there was a rebellion, which was naturally gloomy, but now he got Bai Huangcheng, which symbolized the crusade power, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly gathered his headquarters with Chonghei Hu and marched towards Beihai.
The commander of the conquest of the Pingling King of the East China Sea is Huang Feihu, because of the extraordinary period, the four generals of the Demon Family are guarding Jiameng Pass and cannot leave without permission, so Zhang Zixing arranged for Hong Jin, an alternate general with strange skills, and Ji Kang, a deputy general, to assist Huang Feihu. ,
Originally, Zhang Zixing wanted to send Wen Zhong to go, but it didn't take much time for Zhongwen Taishi to exterminate King Pingling, but Wen Zhong had to deal with a more important target at this time: Su Hu.
Because Su Hu is involved in the most critical heroine of the Romance of the Gods, that is, the source of the destruction of the Great Shang - Daji, Zhang Zixing is particularly sensitive to the Su family. Maybe Su Daji is the most beautiful woman in this world, maybe she hasn't met the demon fox yet, maybe the demise of Dashang can't put all the blame on a woman, but none of this matters, because she only has one way to go, and that is death. Even if it is not for the future "plot", just because of the relationship between the Su and Hu rebellions, it is necessary to kill the chickens and monkeys to exterminate the Su Men family, and must not be soft on the sake of women, take precautions, and take precautions, which is the consciousness that a superior person should have.
Before leaving, Wen Zhong got the secret order issued by the Son of Heaven himself, as long as he defeated Su Hu, he would immediately kill his entire family to avoid future troubles.
Soon after Wen Zhong's army set off, Zhang Zixing thought of a key matter, and immediately found Yabi Gan and handed him a character: to assist the new national teacher to go to Xuanyuan Tomb in the southern suburbs of Chaoge to eliminate demons.
Danger should be nip in the bud.
