"First of all, I suggest you launch Di Bao and call on everyone to discuss the quality of this reform. As long as they are monks, everyone can discuss it, everyone can..." Zhou Xing felt a little thump in his heart when he said this.
Understand the situation here. He originally wanted to say that everyone can submit a petition, but then he remembered that even in Shangluo for so many years, he had never heard of an ordinary monk petitioning. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel less confident before speaking again
, the momentum is no longer as strong as before.
"In short, we need to find ways to unite those who support this reform and form a huge public opinion. Once public opinion opens the way, things will fall into place."
Jordan listened carefully to what I said, pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "The Di newspaper is issued by the state capital, and those who can see it are officials from various states and counties. It is inappropriate to use this. However, what Brother Gao means is
Got it, I think I know what to do."
After Jordan left in a hurry, Zhou Xing sat on the sofa and meditated for a while, and then asked Du Chou to be found.
Although he doesn't understand the world very well, he is in an era of information explosion. From ancient times to the present, there are almost no successful examples of such drastic reforms as Luo Shang Qiaoden. He just talked to Qiaoden
During the conversation, Jordan had tactfully persuaded Jordan a few words, but the other party didn't listen at all. He was just thinking about how to carry out the plan according to the plan, how to re-measure the spiritual fields of each county in the first step, and how to
Let’s make detailed statistics on the difference between registered monks and actual monks in Yizhou.
He remembered that a great politician in his world once said: Politics is to have more friends and fewer enemies, only in this way can you succeed.
Although Zhou Xing could not imagine for the time being that implementing such a reform would also result in more friends and fewer enemies, but what he was sure of was that if Jordan did this, it would definitely not mean that he would have more friends and fewer enemies, even if he listened to his own method and won a large number of enemies.
A monk from a humble family.
"Bad idea!" Zhou Xing thought regretfully, "A monk from a humble family is like a loose sand, unless he can be like that great figure in that world and just knead the loose sand together through various transformations. But in these two worlds, except for that figure
Who else has that ability?"
"My lord, why did you call me down?" Du Chou hurriedly came in and asked.
"Mr. Du," Zhou Xing naturally wouldn't say that he just gave Jordan a bad idea without careful consideration, "What do you think of this reform implemented by our Yizhou Luo Shijun?"
"It's nothing more than a repeat of Wang Jie's reform in the late Shang Dynasty." Du Chou was obviously confident about this. "This is the main reason why my subordinates have never allowed you, my lord, to apply for Luo Shijun's expedition. Wang Jie was a relative of the clan back then.
For twenty years, his reputation has been unparalleled. But even so, after implementing this policy that seemed to benefit the country and the people, within a few years the world was on the verge of war, and he himself was in a different place. Although Luo Shijun was also regarded as
If you are able to meet a famous person, let alone him, His Highness the King of Qi, how can he have such a high reputation as Wang Jie back then. If you do it too hastily, it will be worse than it is."
Du Chou couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he said this, and continued: "Although King Qi advocated righteousness and destroyed King Shen Xiu of Zhao and established the emperor's grandson as the emperor, he should never show off his power and alienate his relatives. He failed to leave the cd king to help him.
Politics. I think back to the time when I was related to Yin Gong and was so virtuous. He helped the king become the king, especially in charge of Cai's disaster. How could the king of Qi be so virtuous and capable as to be on par with Yin Gong? Not even his deceased father could do it."
"The Kingdom of the Jin Dynasty was won by concession, not by conquering the world." Du Chou saw that Zhou Xing was listening attentively and continued to talk: "The advantage is that the political situation of the Jin Dynasty is loose and inclusive, but the disadvantages are also the same.
In the past, Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty assisted the Hou Shang Dynasty and fought for twenty years before he was able to seal 20,000 households. His generals ranged from more than 2,000 households to hundreds of households. Even so, people at the time were proud of him. When King Wen of Jin Dynasty assisted the generals
During the Zhou Dynasty, Zhong Hui was sent to defeat the Shu merchants. He accomplished the great feat of destroying the country and was awarded a reward of 20,000 households, which was already comparable to that of Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty. By the time of Emperor Wu, Wang Hui, Tang Jun and others destroyed Wu.
He was granted a title of ten thousand households, but the title was already that of a county prince. Not to mention that Yang Jun was granted the title of more than a thousand marquises in one day in order to secure his position as an auxiliary. Why are famous national utensils so common here! Since ancient times, no one has been granted a title.
It is like the changes of the Jin Dynasty today, but the number is not as high as it is today. Ge Tai, with the position of the longest history of the King of Qi, was actually granted the title of Duke. He was even comparable to those who founded the country and destroyed the country. The knowledgeable people in the world saw this.
The scenery makes everyone feel sad and heartbroken."
At this point, Du Chou was already heartbroken, "The top priority of the Jin Dynasty is not to destroy Lingtian, but to stop this trend of random rewards. Sir, I have a heart-breaking word, such random rewards are to encourage those who hold the
The cronies of the heavy army instigated their lord to rebel. Shen Xiugetai is an example. If he succeeds, he can gain the title of a county in one fell swoop. Compared with such a huge benefit, failure seems so insignificant."
"Hiss," Zhou Xing took a breath after hearing this. He had never thought about it at all. After listening to Du Chou's analysis of people's hearts, he realized the seriousness of the problem. "According to what Mr. Du said, Qi
Will Wang be driven out of power?"
"It's just a matter of necessity." Du Chou said categorically: "The cd king Hejian Wang is well aware of the righteousness and does not want to raise an army, but they have so many subordinates? Who doesn't want to make a marquis or a duke? In the current situation, we just lack one person
It’s just an excuse to attack King Qi.”
"Hmph," Du Chou said, sneering a few times before continuing: "I'm afraid that when Yizhou is in chaos, it will be the time when the four vassal kings attack the King of Qi."
"I'll go!" Zhou Xing said in his heart: "I finally left Shangluo, a place of right and wrong, and came to Yizhou, a paradise, to enjoy life. Unexpectedly, I couldn't escape. Moreover, listening to what Du Chou said, it seemed that the world
It's going to be chaos. Do I still want to hide in Ningzhou?"
"My lord, I dare to ask you this," Du Chou stared at Zhou Xing and said solemnly: "If one day the world is in chaos, what are your plans, lord?"
"Yes, the world is in chaos, what can I do?" Zhou Xing heard Du Chou ask him, and many thoughts came to his mind.
Fight for world supremacy?
I might be summoned back by those white coats one day. I don't belong to this world at all. Whether or not I strive for hegemony seems to have nothing to do with me.
Besides, how can I rely on myself to dominate the world?
If you don’t have the spirit of a king, you don’t know the direction of history. In terms of opinions and abilities, are you the best? The only thing you can be confident about is your own cultivation.
Zhou Xing thought for a long time, and then he said solemnly: "If the world is really in chaos, all I can do is to protect the people here, obey the destiny, and do my best. That's all."
"Mr. Du, I also have a question." After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he paused and then asked: "With your great talent, why do you have to succumb to my small Bodao Kingdom?"
"Nothing else," Du Chou smiled slightly, "because my lord has a benevolent heart."
The last two days of each month are the days when states and counties distribute salary. On these days, every state and county seat will be crowded with people. The big furniture is filled with laughter and laughter. Some are holding pockets of different sizes, and some are holding bags of different sizes. He even pushed the cart to the treasury in the city and queued up in a long line to receive the extremely precious spiritual grain.
Of course, monks from wealthy families generally don't come to line up. Naturally, the servants at home do these things. And even so, these servants usually give the spiritual grains belonging to their masters a day or two in advance. Take them away. So, almost all those who queued up to receive Linlu in the past two days were monks from poor families.
Jordan just saw this opportunity.
He almost didn't adopt what Zhou Xing said to him, but only adopted Zhou Xing's ideas. After returning to CD from Bodao, he immediately wrote an article about the New Deal himself, and had countless copies printed. At this time, I saw him standing at the door of the treasury, asking his men to distribute the food to the monks who came from all over Shu County.
"Fellow monks," Jordan first flew up and stood on the huge stone lion at the entrance of the treasury so that everyone behind him could see him, "I am Jordan, Jordan from the Qiao family in Shu County. I must be here these days. Everyone has heard about some of the things that happened, and today I, Qiaoden, am here to further explain to you Mr. Shijun’s new policy.”
Jordan was very nervous at first. He had never done such a thing before, and he had never even heard of anyone doing such a thing. Since ancient times, everyone has just followed orders. What are the policies and measures from the superiors? When an order is given, whether the subordinates agree or disagree, everyone just executes it. As for those who are not even officials, they have no right to speak, and no one cares about what they think.
No one would do this, no one would even think this way, except for Zhou Xing, a person who is not inferior to this world in the first place.
The frontier officials of a state or even a county are also called shepherds, who shepherd and guard a place for the emperor. The people are like the cattle and sheep, and the governor of the governor is like the people who graze. But these cattle and sheep belong to the emperor, not Mu Shou himself. But no matter what, for Mu Shou, do they care about the feelings of cattle and sheep? Will they consider the thoughts of cattle and sheep?
No one cares, including the former Jordan.
On his way back to the CD, he thought about this question repeatedly. Although Jordan was very arrogant, he was never a rigid person. He was very smart and studious, otherwise he would not be so good at this age. Zhou Xing said a lot about it, but apart from this idea, other opinions could be completely ignored in Jordan's mind. But this idea seemed to solve the problems he encountered in one go.
He had no doubt that the monks from humble families supported this reform. Even if there were those who opposed it, they were in the minority.
The first thing he thought of was Wang Jie in the late Shang Dynasty. Didn't Wang Jie finally succeed in usurping Shang Dynasty by relying on the huge reputation he had accumulated over decades?
But even so, Wang Jie's supporters are all well-known people, rich families or high-ranking officials, and they have never considered the ideas of monks from poor families.
When he thought of this, Jordan was very frightened.
What Luo Shang did was essentially the same as what Wang Jie did back then, except that he made some improvements based on Wang Jie's work. The main target of Wang Jie's reform was those honors of the former Shang Dynasty.
As a noble relative, Wang Jie relied on the monks who gradually occupied the imperial court and even various prefectures and counties.
"Who is your friend? Who is your enemy? This is revolution, no, ahem, this is the first issue that reform must face." In his mind, he remembered what Zhou Xing said to him solemnly.
sentence.
He instinctively resented this sentence.
Either a friend or an enemy?
Then my father is also my enemy?
This was his first reaction when he heard Zhou Xing's words. But when he recalled Zhou Xing's words again, he discovered with horror that Zhou Xing's words turned out to be right, at least for what he had to do.
is correct in this matter.
My father is my enemy?
Then who am I?
He couldn't figure it out. He bypassed the problem and forced himself not to think about it again.
Yes, Wang Jie failed in the end. But his early stage was successful, which means Zhou Xing's idea was right.
Regarding Wang Jie's failure, his great-grandfather once said this: "Although everyone verbally said that Wang Jie was a national traitor, everyone knew in their hearts that Wang Jie wanted to change the situation that was about to collapse in the former Shang Dynasty. The former Shang Dynasty in those days
The relatives of nobles and nobles occupied tens of thousands of acres of spiritual land at every turn, and they continued to plunder it. The monks all over the world could no longer bear this situation. Therefore, when Wang Jie proposed his reform measures, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the monks all over the world.
Wang Jie’s fault did not lie in his reform measures, but in that he should not have usurped the merchants’ 300-year-old business. In view of the defeat of the former merchants, the later merchants greatly restricted the land occupation of nobles and relatives, and this ushered in the later merchants.
The prosperous period of Shang Mingzhang allowed Liu merchants to continue for more than two hundred years."
Yes, Wang Jie was wrong because he should not usurp the business's foundation, but now the person who is implementing this policy is a member of the Huangfu family. Jordan thought this, and his fear slowly dissipated.
Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the spiritual fields of nobles and even vassal kings have been planned from the beginning. As long as there is any robbery or robbery, the officials responsible for supervising the vassal kings and nobles will report these matters to the court.
If you want to cut down your household, you can also cut down your title. But even so, in Jordan's opinion, it is not enough.
As long as the spiritual land is not demarcated, this kind of plundering will continue to happen. The Jin Dynasty has only been established for more than 20 years. Although the occupation of land by feudal kings and nobles is not particularly serious, those land occupations that rely on feudal kings and nobles are still developing.
It's very fast.
In Jordan's view, only if every monk's spiritual field is fixed from top to bottom, just like what King Huangfu You of Qi had formulated, will this phenomenon not continue to happen, and will the Great Jin Dynasty have long-term peace and stability, and the world
Only then will there be long-term peace and stability.
It is this belief that supports Jordan and enables him to talk in front of people he never cares about instead of in front of high-ranking officials and nobles.
"...Re-measure the spiritual fields, distribute them according to the head, and truly realize that every cultivator has his own land. This is a good thing, this is a great good thing. This is not only related to the long-term stability of Jin Dynasty, but also related to each of you present.
People's interests. However, now, those who own a large amount of spiritual land are resisting this policy and obstructing this policy, making it impossible for Lord Jijun's reform to be carried out.
