After Luo You, the Minister of War, discussed the necessity of the "ling and county system", he changed his mind, but said that the "ling and county system" is not feasible now. This change is a bit big, which surprised everyone present, and even the emperor did not expect it.

Luo You said: "Your Majesty, Wang Mang lost his virtue, and the world was in chaos. Thieves rose up. In order to protect himself, wealthy families in various places built walls, repaired armor and soldiers, recruited men and strong men, and the small ones gathered more than a hundred people, and the big ones won thousands of soldiers. They performed the authority of the government, maintained local public order, and the people rushed to rely on each other, so that their power became more and more powerful. Every powerful family was a domineering place, and the government could not control it. The pseudo-Emperor Liu Xiu wanted to carry out large-scale farming, but was still controlled by the powerful. What's more, Your Majesty wanted to move them away and make them abandon their land and ancestors' careers? Your Majesty, the world is settled and people are not convinced. If you do the affairs of the tombs and towns, you may be afraid that the world will reign and the world will be in chaos, endangering the country."

Song Hong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, as today is the first decision, the people all want to return to the fields to farm, and the soldiers are tired of fighting, so they must not use any more weapons. I think that the matter of the tombs and towns should be carried out slowly, so who do you think about it?"

Song Hong was a highly respected minister in the court. As soon as he spoke, someone immediately followed suit.

The emperor looked at the Shangshu Ling Zheng Shen and asked, "Duke Zheng, what do you think?"

Zheng Shen was not only of high status and powerful, but also deeply trusted by the emperor. However, he never spoke today. He stood up until the emperor named him and said slightly: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and he must know the matter of strength and weakness, and the principle of urgency. Moreover, if you do such a major event, you will shock the world. Even if you discuss it in the court, you will also make people feel uneasy. How to make a decision, please ask Your Majesty to judge."

After saying that, he sat back and didn't say a word.

Actually, I didn't say this, and I didn't have any attitude at all. I guess the emperor was not very satisfied. When all the ministers retreated, he found an excuse to keep Zheng Shen.

The emperor drove away all the idle people, and only the monarch and ministers sat opposite each other. The emperor said, "Ziyuan, you didn't say clearly what you just now. Now you and me are the two of you. No matter what you say, you will come out of your mouth and my ears. No matter how you hear me, there will be no third person to know. Tell me, let me see if this matter can be implemented."

Zheng Shen stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of the magistrate is not only unfeasible, but now we can't even mention it!"

"Oh? Why is this?"

"Your Majesty starts a business and relies on refugees, but Liu Xiu is not. He started his business by relying on powerful people and wants to protect them. Over time, the powerful people in Guandong are too strong. The powerful people in Guandong are too strong than Guanzhong. The people in the countryside are all protected by powerful people, but their leader is to follow him. Now that your Majesty has just entered Guandong, the county magistrate has just taken office. The governance of counties and counties must rely on the help of local wealthy families, otherwise it will inevitably be difficult to implement government orders. The most important thing now is to get the governance of each county back on the right track as soon as possible, so that the people in Guandong know your majesty's kindness, obey your majesty's virtues, fear your majesty's power, and follow your majesty's laws. Now that your Majesty has no kindness to the people in Guandong, but they will first seize the career of the ancestors of wealthy families, and they will definitely resist Your Majesty. Even if your Majesty is the emperor, he has millions of soldiers under his command, he cannot oppose the whole world."

The emperor said: "No matter whether it can be implemented or not, in Ziyuan's opinion, is the system of lingxian the law appropriate to be implemented?"

"It should be done!" Zheng Shen replied very surely, "In the prosperous Han Dynasty, it mostly depends on the merits of the Ling County system. If the powerful people are allowed to become powerful, they may not be able to control it in the future, and the Han Dynasty will be unstable. However, at this time, people's minds are settled. Your Majesty must first determine the hearts of the people in the world. Do not mention this matter to avoid chaos."

"I just want to mention it!" The emperor suddenly laughed, "I just want to implement the magistrate. Maybe it's not now, but it's a matter of time."

Zheng Shen looked up at the emperor, "Your Majesty said it early, is it a test?"

"Absolutely, blow the wind first." The emperor said: "Suppressing the powerful cannot be achieved overnight. The Han Dynasty has been in power for more than a hundred years before it can achieve something. However, once it is abolished, there will be a lot of powerful people everywhere in just a hundred years. The rich are all over the country, the poor are not in a place, the imperial authority is not enough, and the people cannot obtain justice and justice. I also know that fighting with the powerful world is no less difficult than fighting with Liu Xiu. But if I don't do this, what's the difference between Liu Xiu, who bows to the powerful? Perhaps once I left, I don't become this emperor, and let Liu Xiu unify the world, he can also create a prosperous era? If it is the same as him, why should I meet him? Maybe once I left, I would not be the emperor, and let Liu Xiu unify the world, and he could also create a prosperous era? If it is the same as him, why should I meet him?

Fighting to let the people of the world suffer more of the wars in the past few years? Since I have snatched the world from Liu Xiu, I will naturally do more than him, and naturally do better than him. Let the world be branded with my mark, let the people get my kindness, and let future generations mention me, and then I can say that thanks to the cattle-herding emperor, the Han Dynasty has been passed down for ten and millions of generations, and the Han people have fields, food, and books to read, regardless of wealth or poor. I am only in my twenties, and I have a long life in the future and have more things to do. Now that I want to restore the system of magistrates, the first thing is stuck, let alone the future, so I must continue to do it."

Zheng Shen was moved when he heard the emperor say such heartfelt words for the first time and bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for me to say frankly. If your Majesty wants to be a saint, I also want to be a famous minister. Although I am old, I am willing to follow Your Majesty in my lifetime and do more for the Han Dynasty."

"Okay, I'll wait for Ziyuan's words!" The emperor helped him up and said, "The current system of the lingxian system is like a high mountain. You can't reach the top suddenly, but as long as you climb up step by step, you will always reach the top of the mountain. Although the current county governance depends on the powerful, I think you should not ask them for help, and follow their nature, but you should give kindness and power. You must not be abusive them. First of all, you have to set rules for them to let them know that they are powerful. Of course, you have to grasp the standard and not force people to be impatient at once. The flesh must be cut one by one, and every knife must be used. It is best to make them accept it and feel uncomfortable, but you can still bear it... Ziyuan, please help me plan well."

The emperor and Zheng Shen had a long talk, and Zheng Shen resigned.

The next day, Yang Yin, the general master of the tomb who went north of the Wei River to inspect the land of Jianling, came back and entered the palace to report to the emperor about the site selection of the tomb. After saying this, Yang Yin suddenly said, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to restore the tomb town system and migrate to the powerful Guandong, and I am so excited that I didn't sleep well. If Your Majesty can do this, it will be a blessing for the people!"

"Why did Grand Tutor Yang say this?" The emperor was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Yin was actually a person who fully supported the Lingyi system.

Yang Yin said: "Your Majesty, most of the brothers in the Qingzhou camp are farmers with little wealth. If they had not been in a disaster year and were forced to buy land and houses by those powerful households at low prices, how could they have come out to rebel? The wealthy families were in the local area, and even the government was bribed by them. Ordinary people could only endure their oppression and dare not speak out. Even the three elders heard that His Majesty moved away those bastards, they slapped the table and shouted happily, saying that Your Majesty is worthy of his good woman... He is the good emperor of the world."

These words were unexpectedly happy for the emperor. He did not expect that the Red Eyebrow Army Group would support him. The ministers who were discussing the matter yesterday were all civil officials, and the Red Eyebrow Army Group mostly served in the army and did not participate in this small court discussion. Therefore, the emperor did not hear the sound of firmly supporting the Lingyi system. Now that he heard Yang Yin say this, the emperor suddenly thought of this.

The ministers were all powerful, so of course they had to protect the interests of their class. However, the generals of Chimei and her group were all from poor people and sat on the side of the poor. Although they have now become new powerful people, their families are around Chang'an and are not among the migration. Therefore, these generals are his most reliable allies.

From this point of view, the situation he faced was much better than that of Liu Xiu. He had the support of Red Eyebrows and had thousands of refugees as his backing. In the hearts of refugees, Liu Yu was a good emperor who planted them, gave them food, and gave them a house to live in.

Liu Yu is more confident in the future.

After the emperor chose a site to build a tomb and implemented the tomb system, the court and the country reacted in a mixed manner. Ministers from wealthy families were in a panic and clapped their hands. Some people kept shaking their heads and sighed that the emperor was too young and energetic, and they might cause some trouble.

When the Kanto family who had a spy in the court received the news, most of them were panicked. They didn't know when the big knife would be cut down. At that time, should they bear it or try to see the emperor's true seal.

This state lasted for two months, and suddenly another news came. The emperor felt that as today was decided, the national treasury was insufficient, and it was not appropriate to build a large-scale construction, so the matter of building a tomb will be put aside for the time being.

As soon as this news came out, many people breathed a sigh of relief. If the tombs were not built, they would naturally not build them, so the tombs would not be implemented. No wonder, this emperor had just won the world and had not yet had a hot butt. How could he fight to the death with the powerful Guandong?

However, just one month later, an imperial edict was issued, and the emperor ordered the destruction of the world's dock wall. Except for the border counties who were guarding against Hu people, the rest of the dock walls could be temporarily retained, and the rest of the dock walls were destroyed. The people who were originally seeking shelter in the dock walls were sent home to farm to prevent them from gathering again.

Although this edict is almost a one-size-fits-all approach and seems simple and crude, the court is actually justified.

The dock wall is a military facility. Its height and construction structure do not meet the regulations. It was an "illegal construction" at that time. Of course, in troubled times, the dock wall played an important role in protecting the people and maintaining economic development. However, today's unification is already a peaceful season. What do the powerful people still need to do in these dock walls? Do they want to conspire against the court?

The government stipulated the height of the courtyard wall, and also stipulated which facilities are allowed and which facilities are not allowed to be built. First, the powerful people should demolish them by themselves within a specified period. If they are not demolished within the specified period, the government will come to the door to demolish them. Most of the troops cooperate with the government to demolish them, because now the world's military is about to be rescinded, and there are many troops stationed in various places, which is convenient for mobilization, so the army temporarily became a demolition brigade.

The order of forced demolition did not encounter much resistance. After the rumor of the storm, the psychological endurance of the powerful seemed to have improved a lot. As long as you don’t force to move, the order of forced demolition of their houses would not be so difficult to accept.

This is also one of the purposes of the emperor's first release, first giving the most unacceptable choice to minimize everyone's psychological expectations, and then a slightly easier option seems less difficult.

But of course everyone is unwilling to demolish it. The main way to express resistance is to communicate with each other and reach a consensus that no one will demolish it within a time limit. It depends on what the government should do. If you have the ability, you will demolish it. Anyway, everyone will demolish it, so the government will save you the effort to demolish it.
