Chapter 450: For the King, Don't Be Afraid(2/2)
kind of resistance.
Liu Chang narrowed his eyes and said with some regret: "If the general is unwilling, then forget it. The Marquis of Huaiyin recommended you to me, saying that you are diligent and careful. It is most appropriate to entrust such an important task to you. It seems that it can only be
Let others take charge..."
Upon hearing these words, Qin Tong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Is it recommended by the Marquis of Huaiyin???"
His voice was even higher.
"Yes, but since you don't want to..."
"I am willing! I will go right away..."
Qin Tong thought of something and said, "My daughter is getting married. Can I wait a few days before going there?"
"sure!"
Liu Chang waved his hand and asked: "Which family is this promised to?"
"He is the son of Marquis Pingyang."
"Hahaha, then we are still relatives! Yes, yes, Cao Qi is a child who has been smart and responsible since he was a child. If you marry your daughter to him, you don't have to worry about being wronged, but Cao Qi is still young.
Xiao, even if you are married, you still have to wait for some time if you want to have grandchildren!"
Qin Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "With such a good son-in-law, it is natural to get married as soon as possible, otherwise he will be snatched away by others!"
"Unexpectedly, one day, I will actually become in-laws with Pingyang Yihou."
Qin Tong said with emotion.
This Cao Qi was the grandson of Cao Shen, and Cao Qi later had a son named Cao Shou. During the time of Cao Shou, there was a couple of retainers in his house. The man's surname was Wei, and the woman was called Wei Lao. This Wei Lao gave birth to a son.
Son, this son is quite famous. Historically, he made some contribution to defeating the Huns. Her son is called Wei Qing.
She also has a grandson who is also somewhat famous. He has done a lot of things at a young age and has gained a certain status. Her grandson is called Huo Qubing...
The entire Han Dynasty, from the beginning to the end, has never lacked famous generals. Almost every emperor has his own legendary general, and sometimes there are even several who can enter the martial arts temple.
After arranging for Qin Tong to be responsible for farming affairs, Liu Chang asked him to go back to prepare for the marriage, but Chao Cuo was left behind.
Chao Cuo is really not afraid of offending others.
Chao Cuo himself proposed the issue of farming. During the formulation process, Chao Cuo also believed that farming would lead to officers in the border guards using their power for personal gain and opening up their own private fields. There might even be a huge border army.
Therefore, Chao Cuo specially set up special field captains, so that these captains, like the border guards, have corresponding term of office, and they will be replaced when the term is up, so as to avoid collusion between superiors and subordinates, and to avoid the expansion of the local area.
Chao Cuo said it very directly and did not save face at all for the border army generals.
In one report, all the elders of the border army such as Zhou Zao, Song Chang, and Wei Shang were offended.
He really did not leave any escape route for himself, and he was not afraid of causing turmoil in the border troops.
But Liu Chang felt that what this guy said made sense. Border guards were replaced every year. If the generals did not change, it might really cause serious problems. So, according to what this guy said, Liu Chang specially set up a
After the establishment of the Tuntian Colonel, the Tuntian General was further established to coordinate the relationship between the local factions and these airborne factions.
"Wrong..."
Liu Chang looked at Chao Cuo in front of him complicatedly.
You could say that Chao Cuo is a capable minister. This guy is always arrogant and boastful. As a result, the actual battle was settled in one round. If not, this guy can always come up with many good ideas, such as this time.
It was Chao Cuo who first thought about the food consumption problem of the border guards when it came to farming. He then proposed: "Let soldiers from far away guard the fortress and watch them every year. I don't know what the barbarians are capable of. It is better to choose people who live in the country and work in the fields, and prepare for it."
Of..."
Zhang Cangdu greatly praised this policy, believing that this method solved the problem of high cost of grain transportation in the Han Dynasty and turned the original deficit into profit.
"If you can succeed in farming, it will be considered a great achievement of yours."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I am just here to relieve the king's worries. If it can be beneficial to the farming and mulberry affairs, that will be enough!"
"Your Majesty wants to usher in a prosperous age that will never be seen before, and to feed the people of the world. Although I am not talented, I am willing to do my best to assist Your Majesty!
"
As Chao Cuo said this, he hurriedly took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Chang respectfully.
In these years, Chao Cuo was definitely the most active minister in submitting memorials, and Liu Chang still attached great importance to his memorials.
At first, his "On Precious Millet" pointed out three points to Liu Chang, which was to allow the common people to obtain lower titles by paying corn, so as to break the differences at the bottom and enrich the national treasury, and then to worship the title to eliminate sins, that is,
You can get a reduced sentence by paying corn. For example, if you are sentenced to death and you pay enough grain, you can change it to palace punishment. Liu Chang thought for a long time and finally accepted it.
This method of worshiping millet to eliminate sins even affected Han law. For example, if you hurt someone, if you are willing to pay compensation and the other person is willing to accept it, your crime can be reduced. Similarly, if your crime is related to the country
, then you can also reduce the punishment of your sins by making atonement to the temple.
Based on this set of rules, Zhang Shizhi came up with the law of commutation, which detailed various provisions on commutation of punishment and supplemented the laws of Qin.
As for the third type, grains are valued more than gold and jade. Simply put, the temples are required to control the price of grains.
Later, he wrote "War on Military Affairs", advocating to win over the barbarian armies, with the Han army as the core, the barbarian army as the auxiliary left, and the barbarians to subdue the barbarians.
Previously, when faced with the food problem for the border guards, Chao Cuo wrote "Guarding the Border and Encouraging Farmers".
It explains in detail the benefits of farming, and I hope Liu Chang can implement it.
This was already the fourth memorial that Chao Cuo took out. Liu Chang took the memorial and looked at it carefully.
"Your Majesty, originally the Qin State only sent soldiers to occupy the border when guarding the border, and then rewarded the soldiers with the local area to settle down, and they were not allowed to return. These soldiers originally wanted to obtain good farmland through military exploits, but the reward turned into punishment.
After obtaining a barren land, you cannot return home... This is the failure of Qin's border guarding system. I believe that the prerequisite for relocating people to the border must be voluntary, and the people cannot be forced to go, and it must reach a certain level."
"To make those who come first be happy and not think about their hometown!"
"I look at the world today. People have many heirs in their families, but very little land. After they die, the cultivated land is left to the eldest son, while Yu Ding has to fend for himself... There are so many left Ding in the world now. If we can organize these Yu Ding
, recruit the remaining people to go to the frontier fortresses to farm and enrich the population of the frontier fortresses. A hundred years later, these frontier fortress areas will be no different from the Central Plains. If they go there by themselves and carry out reclamation in a chaotic manner, they will not reach the level of peace and happiness."
"Therefore, in addition to guarding the border and farming, I think we can also organize the people who voluntarily go to farm, divided into military villages and civilian villages. The temple organizes the people to farm, develop the border fortress, and build cities to settle. It is better than them to cultivate and reclaim the land individually.
..."
After finishing his thoughts, Chao Cuo smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I completed this memorial under your Majesty's reminder, but it is not perfect enough to be implemented. Please give me some advice..."
"Hahaha, you are a capable minister!"
"However, it's a blessing that you met me. If you met a king like King Zhao, I wouldn't be able to protect you at all!"
"As long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. If you have any ideas, just say it. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to touch you!"
"This is the king's business, what should I be afraid of?!"
