Liu Chan was a little strange. Among his sons, the one who made him most at ease was his eldest son Liu Tan.
Because after these years of experience on the battlefield, he has been able to stand alone.
Today he was conferred the title of King of Qin.
From then on, it was time for him to show off his talents.
What is he worried about?
"Father!" Liu Tan sat down and said worriedly: "The Qin Dynasty has just been founded. If we implement these decrees at this time, will it be self-defeating and provoke a civil uprising?"
As the saying goes, if you are not a family member, you will not know how expensive firewood and rice are.
In the past, as the King of Qin of the Han Dynasty, he did not need to consider these things. He only had to follow his father's will. Now he has become the king of a country.
There are many more things he needs to consider.
The decrees implemented today were decisions he made after discussing with his father Liu Chan. Of course, these have also had successful precedents.
The Ming Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom are now implementing these policies.
But after the disbandment of the dynasty, Liu Tan has been thinking about it.
Isn’t it a little too hasty now?
Hearing Liu Tan's question, Liu Chan's face immediately turned gloomy. He looked at Liu Tan and said, "You are now the king of a country. How can you govern a country well with such foresight and hesitation?"
Now it's not Liu Tan who is worried, but Liu Chan is a little worried.
As a monarch, the most taboo thing is to look forward and backward.
Liu Tan was suddenly shocked. His father's tone was obviously angry.
"Then tell me..." Liu Chan then asked Liu Tan: "Why do you suddenly have such doubts?"
Although he is a little dissatisfied with Liu Tan's hesitation, in any case, Liu Tan is his son, and he will have to govern the Qin Kingdom in the future.
"Father!"
Liu Tan said, a little wary, and glanced at Liu Chan before saying: "My son just thinks that the policies implemented by the Roman Empire are very different from those of me, a big man." He paused and then said: "The Roman Empire is a republic.
The country and the emperor do not belong to the same family, or are hereditary."
Well, Liu Chan nodded slightly. This was what he had told Liu Tan before. The Roman Empire was a republic, and its monarchs were not like the Central Plains dynasties such as the Han Dynasty. I will continue to work after I am a son.
The emperors of the Roman Empire were often selected by the Senate and others. When the old emperor died, a new capable person was chosen in the empire to continue to be the emperor.
"And...those nobles..." Liu Tan said, frowning slightly: "Now that slavery is abolished and the fields are nationalized...they..." At this point, he paused deliberately, and then
He looked at Liu Chan and said: "These are their interests. Now that the new country is established, these people will be offended..."
It turned out that he was worried about this... Liu Chan sighed, becoming a king is a little different, and he knows how to think about some pros and cons.
Although he was a little hesitant, at least he used his brain.
It can be seen that Liu Tan wanted to ask him about his intention to be the father of the emperor. Liu Chan did not answer directly, but asked instead: "What do you think a country should be based on?"
"Putting people first!" Liu Tan blurted out without thinking.
"Very good!" Liu Chan was very satisfied, and then asked: "What are the people?"
"Everyone in the world is a citizen!" Liu Tan replied.
"Yeah!" Liu Chan smiled. At least Liu Tan's knowledge is worthy of praise. As long as he knows how to put the people first, he won't have a big problem.
"Tan'er!" Liu Chan said calmly: "You have to remember that although everyone in the world is a citizen, those at the top are only a minority after all, and the people at the bottom are the foundation of an empire and a kingdom.
."
"Stabilizing the high-level nobles may allow the country to transition smoothly in a short period of time, but..." Liu Chan said, and after a long sigh, he said: "But that is only a short-term stability. Over time, if you think about it again,
Governance can easily cause major shocks."
"For example, now, in order to allow the Qin Dynasty to transition smoothly, the imperial court accommodates the Roman nobles. Then the Qin Kingdom, isn't it the second Roman Empire?"
"The troubles of the Roman Empire!"
"The cruelty of slavery!"
"These will hinder the development of the kingdom."
Liu Chan spoke earnestly to Liu Tan. As a time traveler, he still had a good understanding of history, although it was not particularly comprehensive.
However, he understood one truth from beginning to end.
A dynasty that relies on clans and nobles can prosper in a short period of time, but it is not the cornerstone of a dynasty's long-term development, because these clans and nobles will become a stumbling block to the dynasty at a certain time.
Only a truly people-oriented dynasty can achieve long-term peace and stability.
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat and also capsize it.
This boat is the imperial court, and this water is the people of the world.
The common people can support a dynasty, but they can also subvert a dynasty.
"Tan'er!" Liu Chan added: "Now that the Qin Dynasty has just established its country, these national policies formulated will make the nobles and wealthy gentry dissatisfied, but at the moment, they do not dare to make enemies of my Han Dynasty."
"If you wait until you are stable, you will try to influence their interests again!" Liu Chan said with a long sigh: "At that time, it would not be as easy as it is now."
After Liu Chan finished speaking, Liu Tan suddenly realized that today he ascended the throne of Great Qin for the first time. When he announced the new national policies, he saw the dissatisfaction in the eyes of many nobles and wealthy gentry, which made him a little worried.
But at this moment, my father’s words were enlightening.
Now that the Roman Empire has been conquered by the Han army, the Romans do not dare to be enemies with the Han people for the time being. Liu Chan does not need to say this, he is also very clear about it.
At this time, if a new national policy is implemented, although the nobles and rich gentry will be dissatisfied, they can only endure it and obey it, unless they dare to be enemies with the Han people now.
If someone dares to stand up and oppose at this time, the Han people will use them to scare the monkeys. At worst, if they fight for a few more years, it will be very easy to destroy these nobles and wealthy gentry with the strength of the Han army.
After all, the Roman Empire could not compete with the Han army.
"Thank you very much, Father!" Liu Tan immediately bowed and said, "My son and I are ignorant. Fortunately, Father gave us timely guidance. Otherwise, we would have made a big mistake."
"It's not your fault!" Liu Chan sighed and said with a smile: "Now that you have just ascended the throne, you have some worries about many things, which is normal. But when you govern the kingdom in the future, you can no longer have such a forward-thinking mind."<
/p>
"No!" Liu Tan said respectfully: "I will remember my father's teachings!"
Seeing his son's submissive look, as a father, Liu Chan was naturally satisfied. However, with the newly established Kingdom of Qin, Liu Chan also had many ideas, and he happened to be discussing them with his son at this moment.
"Tan'er!"
Liu Chan asked with a smile: "The newly established Great Qin, as the saying goes, is full of wastes waiting to be reborn. Tell your father, how do you plan to develop the Great Qin next?"
Liu Chan will return to the Central Plains sooner or later. The future of the Qin Dynasty can only be governed by Liu Tan, so while he is still in Rome, he still wants to hear whether the new king of the Qin Dynasty has his ideas for the future of this kingdom.
Planning.
