Chapter 252: Don’t worry about the lack of weight but the unevenness (Part 2)

In the afternoon, the sun shone in and came in from the glass

Fang Xin just finished a stack of memorials and yawned

A large-scale implementation of cabinet ticket drafting, that is, for memorials from various places or centers, they will be sent to the cabinet first. After reading by the cabinet bachelor, the key points and suggestions for the memorials will be written on paper and posted on the opposite side of each memorial to submit.

For the emperor, he was proficient in political affairs and could tell at a glance that he saved countless efforts

So after working for four hours, today's memorial was reviewed. Fang Xin got up and changed his clothes. He went to a pavilion to sit and heard a message from outside: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please see me!"

"Oh, pass it quickly, just ask him to come here to see me!" Fang Xin said with a move in his heart.

Qin Haozhong came in, saw Fang Xin, bowed and kowtowed, and said, "Long live my greetings!"

"Forget it, sir, please sit down, no need to be polite!" Fang Xin waved his hand casually, sat down on the stone pavilion, and said with a smile: "Sir, haven't entered the palace to see me for several days, can you be in peace?"

"Report to the emperor, the old minister is in good health!" At this time, a palace maid served tea. After serving tea, Fang Xin waved his hand and said, "You all go down, you are not allowed to enter without listening to the emperor."

Qin Hao had a great ministerial demeanor and bowed and said, "Thank you the Emperor to appreciate tea... Last time the Emperor rewarded the minister with a book of the Analects of Confucius, but the old minister didn't agree with it. However, carefully pondered, the words of the saints are really a lesson for the eternal words! Those with countries and families should not worry about the lack of worries but the unevenness, and those who are not worried about poverty but the uneasiness - this is the idea of ​​eternal ones, such as land annexation, and the same is true for this business bank."

By the way, except for a few privileged people, generally speaking, the government now recognizes the mistake of land annexation, so there is a word called family division and property analysis.

In other words, if any county magistrate or prefect has a family of tens of thousands of acres under its leadership, it must find a way to split it up to avoid disaster. This has been recognized by the Ming and Qing governments on earth, and of course, it has also been recognized by Dafan. Therefore, in most counties, there are very few families with more than a thousand acres.

"Old officials have carefully considered and investigated the situation these days. The founding of the 300 nobles of the country was unsuccessful. Although some of them were sold along the way, there were also rewards throughout the ages. In total, there are now 600 nobles of the country - these 600 nobles of the world, which is really frightening." Speaking of this, Qin Haozhong's face was already gloomy: "Besides, nobles are domineering and illegal, bullying the people. This has always been heard, and has aroused public anger. If it weren't for this, how could the thief rebelled back then, how could he kill all the nobles of the land?"

Since the founding of Dafan, under the instruction of Taizu, the nobles and scholars and officials have been sharply opposed and cannot be integrated.

Why can't it be integrated? The reason is very simple, that is, hereditary titles are too rare, and only the title holders themselves, and other descendants cannot obtain them, so even if they are intermarried, they cannot really share them.

As the representative of the scholar-officials, Qin Haozhong knew the disadvantages of the noble system, but to this day, he has already become too big and his power has tended to surpass the scholar-official class. This time the emperor proposed this, which was actually in line with their thoughts. Otherwise, would he be so active?

"What the sir said is exactly my worries, but, things have been done, what are you doing?"

"Yes, the old minister has a memorial here, please read it." Fang Xin took it and opened it to see a few lines of words that were shocking.

"... Now there is a newspaper that can spread the world, which is a powerful weapon. You should send a minister to report the illegal titles and the people's titles over time. This is to strip their foundation and win the hearts of the people. Those who want to choose the people will win the world... If you want to choose the people, the emperor must strictly order and kill them to thank the world. He also has great compassion for the old ministers who are loving and kind. This is to abandon villains and reward gentlemen. In this way, you will be able to win the hope of the world for several years. It is possible to do so..."

Fang Xin looked at it, his eyes were dark, he stood up and walked, his heart rolling

Repeating lies a thousand times is the truth! Whoever controls public opinion and controls the right to speak will master the truth! A newspaper, a thick stack of only two cents, is a powerful tool to influence the world.

Fang Xin only built five newspapers, and all the people sent were controlled by the Imperial Office of the Ministry of Information (intelligence agency). He knew this truth, but unexpectedly, the newspaper was spotted by the cabinet two years after it was released.

But when I think about it again, it is reasonable. Why can the literati and literati class remain unchanged throughout the dynasties and enjoy glory forever is because of controlling public opinion and discourse power.

Anyone who infringes on the literati class is a villain, a treacherous minister, and a tyrant. Even the emperor is within the scope of attack and control.

This is called "Confucius was afraid of the treacherous ministers and thieves"

It is precisely because this is the lifeblood that as soon as the newspaper appears, it challenges the deep-rooted voice of the literati and literati class. Of course, they will pay close attention to it at the first time and try to control it.

Thinking of this, Fang Xin laughed at first. He was originally dealing with the aristocratic class, but now he keenly found this at the first time. This is also considered political acumen!

Not to mention this, the specific method is quite considerable

That is, killing people with a soft knife, cutting sausages, boiling frogs in warm water, and first slandering these people in public opinion, making people all over the world gradually dislike and oppose them. In this way, even if there are millions of wealth, so what?

The emperor shouted, and tens of thousands of people came forward to confiscate their families and exterminated their families immediately. Even if the nobles started their family and rebelled, there were only a few people.

During the process, we cannot attack alone. After all, the power of the nobles gathered is quite considerable. Once there is chaos, it will be a disaster. Therefore, we must first catch the typical examples of public resentment and enlightenment. This can not only attack the nobles but also cultivate prestige, but also reward some nobles and divide them halfway.

This method is the best one on Earth. I didn't expect that this world will still have this set of methods.

Is it feasible?

It is completely feasible. If Fang Xin cooperates, the aristocratic class can basically be eliminated in ten years through this method of "differentiation, unity and elimination", but this has no benefit to history and society at all.

After all, the aristocrats and industry and commerce are now integrated. If you want to attack one side, you will definitely eradicate them. This is back to the Confucian agricultural centralized society that values ​​agriculture rather than commerce.

And in this way, even if he succeeds, the emperor will have no way out and instead becomes a puppet of the scholar-official class.

Fang Xin thought clearly and sneered in secret, but put the memorial into his sleeve. This is a big killing weapon, proving that everything is the prime minister's start and not what my emperor wants to do. In case of this, there is political room, and it must be kept well and cannot be given to others.

After a while, Fang Xin said, "Sir, what he said is very important. Let me think about it!"

During the conversation, he hesitated and worried, but he was exactly what the young emperor should have.

"The emperor, the noble title is now big, and the tail is big, and it will not be removed. If you wait for a while, it will not be cut, but it will be reversed. Now, even if there is an anti-revolution, the disaster will be small. If you do not cut it, the disaster will be great. I hope the emperor will investigate clearly."

Although Fang Xin started with the suggestion at this time, it was now the Prime Minister who urged him.

Fang Xin sneered in his heart, but hesitated on the surface: "It's just that the country is precious and quiet but not valuable. I'm afraid of trouble. I'm studying and thinking of a way, sir, can you listen?"

"I wish to hear your Majesty's clear statement."

"In ancient times, the vassal kings were in trouble, and they used the order to refute their grace. Now I think it is also available. What do you think?" After saying that, Fang Xinyong looked at the Prime Minister with an eye.

When Qin Haozhong heard this order of favor, he was shocked and thought about it. However, he said: "The ancient vassal kings gave favors to reduce their land, but there is not much land for noble titles today."

"There is not much land, but there are too many wealth. People build princes but less power. This is the reason. Now the princes have their own industries and make millions of dollars a year. How can there be no one among them? If the court adds the law to the emperor and finds things urgently, they will gather their strengths to rebel against the court. I am very shocked!" Fang Xin showed a hint of hesitation and said, "There are dozens of descendants in the family of princes today, but they only leave their industries to the elders. Although there are other flesh and blood, there is no industry to obtain. This is contrary to the way of benevolence and filial piety."

The emperor hesitated, and Qin Haozhong had no choice but to think about it all the time, and this was also a solution. He lowered his head and kept his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "Those who can be proud of their ranks are the privileges given by Taizu, although they are not exempt from taxes, they are also reduced. They are not subject to private investigations by the government. Now, can they have privileges under the order of refusal to be refused?"

What this means is, why can the nobles be strong? Today, they are even richer than the country. It is because Taizu once gave the privilege of tax reduction and the right not to be violated by the government. So now, under the order of grace, will this right be given?

Fang Xin smiled at this time, showing a confident look, and said slowly: "Taizu's laws should not be abolished. Those who abolished them are afraid that they will immediately clear the emperor's side, and even I will not be spared. However, since they are favoritism, they naturally cannot be compared with the titles of Taizu. Not only is the title unherited, but the right to reduce taxes has been removed. This industry is not privately investigated and banned by the government, but it can still be maintained - after all, their industry was originally a noble family, not an external business!"

In other words, what they divided was originally an industry that the government could not manage. Since this is the case, no matter how they divided the court, they would not suffer any losses!

Qin Haozhong thought about this and found no flaws. He asked: "This is a simple truth, and the noble people also understand in their hearts. How to implement the order to redeem the favor? Is it up to the court to force it? Moreover, they are not afraid of clearly dividing the industry and secretly not distinguishing it, and defrauding the court's title?"

"How difficult, sir, under this order of grace, although the legitimate son of the successor opposes, but which other children and grandchildren opposes besides the legitimate son? What can the eldest son do if the whole group is not inconsistent? It is not a problem. As for false division of property, this matter can also be handled, and the title can be determined by wealth."

"Make a title with wealth?"

"That's true. If a noble family, if they present 100,000 silver dollars to the government, they can be named as a soldier. If it is 300,000, they can be named as a male. If it is 600,000, they can be named as a son. If it is 600,000, they can be named as a son. If it is a million, they can be paid as a vassal. Taxes are paid every year... If it is a false distribution of property, they will naturally not be able to pay taxes. This is the crime of deceiving the monarch. Not only can the family be confiscated, but they can also be considered as a crime. Sir, what do you think of this policy?"

When Qin Haozhong heard this, he shivered in secret, gasped, thought for a while, and said, "The emperor said very well, but this is the most important thing. I will consider it for a few days!"
