Xu Wei looked at Zhang Ning in surprise and said, "You have it?"
Zhang Ning nodded and said, "I found out not long after you left for the expedition. It's been 4 months now!"
The weather hasn't warmed up yet, and Zhang Ning was still wearing a thick woolen coat, so Xu Wei didn't notice anything when he just met Zhang Ning. Now that Zhang Ning said this, her face was indeed much rounder, and he immediately
He stroked Zhang Ning's belly and said in surprise: "This is too sudden!"
Xu Wei remembered that he used to watch TV series where the hero and heroine had to go through nine or eighty-one hardships for a child. They had to film dozens of episodes of the TV series and go through all kinds of disasters before the child could be born. It was really more difficult than learning from the experience. How could he get here?
So it went smoothly!
Zhang Ning was amused by Xu Wei's tone, and she laughed: "We are both in good health, so this is normal! It would be abnormal if we haven't conceived a child for more than half a year after getting married!"
Then she said seriously: "Even if it is for our children, you must be the emperor, and this world must be passed on to our children!"
Sure enough, although a woman is weak, she is strong as a mother, not to mention that Zhang Ning is not a weak woman! Just this point gives Xu Wei a headache. Apparently she has determined that the power of Teng Jiajun belongs to his son.
Got it!
But if you really want to be an emperor from the feudal era to the capital era, I'm afraid the end will not be so good! After all, many kings came to the guillotine in the first technological revolution! Changing the system is not about killing one or two people, but about starting from top to bottom.
Let's replace a group of people! It is the most dangerous to become an emperor during this period, and it is easy to be buried with the old era!
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "This world was not conquered by me alone, but by the efforts of the entire Hua Kingdom. This world does not belong to me, but belongs to the entire Tengjia Army. I
Naturally, I hope that our children will be stronger than me, and each generation will become stronger than the next. If he has the ability, he can also become a ruler with his own efforts in the future!"
Zhang Ning looked at Xu Wei in surprise and said: "As the founding king of the country, it is impossible for our son to surpass you. Liu Ying did not surpass Liu Bang, and Liu Yang's ability did not surpass Liu Xiu. This is simply impossible.
!And I don’t understand why you don’t want to hand over the world you conquered to our son?”
In Zhang Ning's view, the first emperor conquered the world, and the second emperor sat on the throne. How could he be compared with the emperor who conquered the world in prestige? Moreover, it is only natural that I conquer the world and my son inherits it. How come there is a problem with Xu Wei?
Got it!
Zhang Ning felt that it was impossible for a second-generation emperor to have more prestige than the founding emperor, but Xu Wei actually knew that there was such an example. Li Shimin rebelled against the founding emperor Li Yuan. He was a role model that became stronger with every generation!
Of course, it was impossible for him to understand this period of history. Xu Wei could only helplessly say to Zhang Ning: "It is not easy to be the emperor in the future. If you push our son to be the emperor now, you may push him to the guillotine!"
Zhang Ning puzzled: "Why are you so pessimistic? With the strength of our Tengjia Army, it is inevitable to seize the world of the Han Dynasty. The newly established country will definitely have a long period of prosperity. The Han Dynasty has had the world for 400 years. We established
The country should be longer than that of the Han Dynasty!"
Comparing the history books, what Zhang Ning said was not completely unreasonable, but he didn't know that the Tengjia Army was conducting a more violent revolution than the Qin Dynasty's unification of the six countries. If it really succeeded, the nobles and nobles would all be swept in.
The garbage dump of history! Therefore, the Tengjia Army cannot compete with the Han Dynasty, but must compete with the Qin Dynasty!
Xu Wei could only patiently explain to Zhang Ning: "Although the Han Dynasty has been in turmoil in recent years, the Han Dynasty itself is extremely powerful. It can even be said that under our oppression, the military strength of the Han Dynasty in recent years has been the highest except during the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The most powerful period!"
"What does this have to do with our children inheriting the world? No matter how powerful the big man is, he cannot be the opponent of our Tengjia Army!" Zhang Ning agrees with this. If the big man is not strong, the Yellow Turban Army will not be easily defeated.
Sweeped, it can even be said that if it were not for the anomaly of the Tengjia Army, the Han Tiejun would still be invincible. Under the oppression of the Tengjia Army, the Han Dynasty could still mobilize an army of 500,000 to fight against the Tengjia Army. You must know that back then
In the uprising to encircle and suppress the great virtuous master, the Han Dynasty only mobilized 100,000 troops. In terms of numbers, the Han Dynasty was five times more powerful than during the Yellow Turban Uprising!
Only with the exception of the Tengjia Army, such a powerful man was still defeated by the Tengjia Army. She further recognized that her husband conquered this world. If it weren't for his husband, how could he have such a powerful Tengjia Army?
military!
Xu Wei laughed and said: "The military strength of the Han Dynasty is almost comparable to that of the founding period, but why does such a powerful Han Dynasty repeatedly lose to us! It is because the Han Dynasty is a feudal country, and our country is an industrialized country. Although in my opinion, Tengjia
The industrialization of the army is nothing more than handicraft industry, but this determines our national power to be stronger than that of the Han Dynasty."
"You see, our Tengjia Army far surpasses the big man in industry, agriculture, and commerce. Our strong industry makes our swords faster than the big man's, our armor is stronger than the big man's, and our agricultural power allows us to produce more food than the big man. We
We can rely on a single state to resettle millions of refugees. These are things that the Han Dynasty cannot do. We are better commercially than the Han Dynasty, so we can mobilize more funds than the Han Dynasty. The most concise and clear comparison is fiscal revenue. During the Ling Emperor's period,
The financial revenue of the Han Dynasty is only over 20 billion yuan, and even though our Tengjia Army only occupies three states, the financial revenue has exceeded 30 billion yuan. If our country of China can occupy the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the financial revenue will soon increase.
Breaking through hundreds of billions, this is dozens of times the Han Dynasty’s peak financial income!”
"This is the strength shown by industrialized countries. Even in newly industrialized countries, the strength of the Tengjia Army has not yet been fully exerted, but it can already make the big men we fight with the Tengjia Army unable to fight back. The strength of the Tengjia Army is greater than
The Han Dynasty was 10 times more powerful, but at the same time it was dozens of times more difficult to rule."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Because it is an industrialized country, it is completely different from the countries that have appeared in China for thousands of years. It is a brand new country, and the experience of governing the country in the past cannot be applied to it.
Body! And the emperor and the emperor are products of the old era and are not suitable for the new Tengjia Army. If I forcefully create the emperor, I will definitely be counterattacked by the Tengjia Army. At best, our descendants will become puppets, almost
If anything, the number of people will be at risk! Only those who can lead the Tengjia Army forward can govern the Tengjia Army well and avoid backlash!"
Zhang Ning didn't understand the industrialized country Xu Wei was talking about, but she had stayed in Mayi for many years, and she could naturally see that Mayi was completely different from other places in the Han Dynasty. It had not changed for thousands of years in the Han Dynasty, and even became worse and worse because of the war.
Mayi is full of vigor and vitality. There are new changes every year, and it gets better every day. Just coming to Mayi from Han Dynasty is like entering a new world. Zhang Ning doesn’t understand what makes Mayi have such changes, but after listening to it today
Xu Wei said that she vaguely understood that what Xu Wei established in Mayi was an industrialized country. This was a brand new world!
But this brand new world has taken away the throne of his son, the emperor!
Zhang Ning said angrily: "Xu Wei, why did you create a new world, but took away my son's throne! Why did the other founding emperors and their sons inherit the throne, but when it comes to our son, he has nothing?"
!”
Obviously Zhang Ning no longer intends to be reasonable!
Xu Wei said with a headache: "Emperor is just a title. It used to be called emperor, now it can be called emperor, and it can also be called ruler in the future. Why don't I want to be the emperor? It's because the power in my hands is no less than that of the emperor. It's just that the emperor is
The title is too closely related to the old era. If I proclaim myself emperor, others will be granted the title of marquis, and the system of the old era will be restored slowly. But our Tengjia Army is a brand new country and does not need these remnants of the old era!
"
Then Xu Wei looked at Zhang Ning solemnly and said: "I dare not say that the Tengjia Army I established can definitely eliminate injustice, but I am working hard in this direction. Think of the great virtuous teacher, he just sees the great man.
Darkness must establish a fair Huangtian Hot Land. Millions of soldiers and tribesmen of the Yellow Turban Army follow the ideal of the Great Sage and Good Master and fight. Those of us who are alive continue to fight with the ideal of the Great Sage and Good Master.
You can't just think about your son, but forget the ideals of the great virtuous teacher and the sacrifices of millions of Yellow Turban Army soldiers. We must take the ideals of the great virtuous teacher and build a country that will not starve to death, be fair,
A just world!”
Sure enough, Zhang Ning stopped talking after Xu Wei said the great virtuous teacher. The one she admired and worshiped the most was the great virtuous teacher. He had always been her role model. Now that Xu Wei said this, she seemed to realize
You are so selfish!
After communicating with Zhang Ning, she no longer bothered Xu Wei with the matter of becoming emperor!
After no one bothered him, Xu Wei began to think about how to structure the top management of the Tengjia Army! He wanted to improve the status of the Criminal Department, at least separate it from the Shangshu Province, and build the Dali Temple and the Supervisory Office at the local level.
Establish a vertical management and supervision system! Although the new Huaguo is still a positive and progressive group, bureaucracy is inevitable, and the supervision of bureaucrats cannot be relaxed. Of course, Xu Wei will not be as eager for quick success and instant benefits as Ming Taizu.
We know that anti-corruption is a long-term process. We must establish reasonable systems and monthly salaries, and don't think about anything that can be done once and for all.
To be honest, Xu Wei looked down on Zhu Yuanzhang a bit in terms of anti-corruption. He was too small-scale peasant-minded and really regarded the world as his own. Although emperors of all generations may have had this idea, he was the first to show it nakedly.
Yes, and it is also done in this way
The Ming Dynasty was extremely harsh on officials, but treated princes, princes and grandchildren well.
Zhu Yuanzhang decided that the prince's title would be "50,000 shi of rice per year, 25,000 guan of banknotes, 40 pieces of brocade, 300 pieces of silk, 100 pieces of gauze, 500 pieces of silk, 1,000 pieces of winter and summer cloth, and 2 pieces of cotton.
One thousand taels, two thousand jins of salt, one thousand jins of tea, and fifty horse fodder per month!"
It can be said that as long as he is his son, he will be rich and powerful and have a fiefdom. Moreover, all the consumption needs of the clan members of the Ming Dynasty are borne by the state. His descendants have been eating royal food since they were young. This kind of meticulous "care" is very important in China.
Unique in history, people in the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but sigh, "The kindness of my relatives is indispensable, and it is far more generous than that of previous generations." He was so lavish that the entire Ming Dynasty could not afford to support him in less than a hundred years.
These are royal relatives!
Coupled with the jealousy and harshness of officials, many princes and grandsons cannot do anything even if they beat beggars and live in prison all their lives!
But it is very harsh for officials. Even if the first-grade official's salary is 87 shi, it decreases by 13 shi for each lower level down to the third-grade official. Then the third-grade official's salary is 35 shi.
It was difficult for everyone to feed their family, so much so that Hai Rui cut two kilograms of pork to celebrate her mother’s birthday and it became news!
The monthly salary is so low that officials are treated as long-term workers! The officials can only figure out what to do, so in the future, officials will waste their time in various ways. When they leave the court, they will retain 30% of the salary before leaving the court, and use various corruption methods.
It has become an unspoken rule.
Moreover, officials are not as good as the Ming Dynasty, but think that it is their own ability.
This is not to say that corruption is good, but the unreasonable salary system formulated by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty is the culprit that allowed corrupt officials to run rampant in the Ming Dynasty. When the officials of the Ming Dynasty saw the treatment of the princes and grandsons, and then compared their own treatment, no official would treat them badly.
I am satisfied with this kind of treatment.
Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty basically did not regard the world of the Ming Dynasty as their own, and they worked hard to poach the corners of the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, no matter how developed the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty was, they could not collect local taxes because the officials and the court
If they are not of the same mind, they have long been bribed by the so-called businessmen!
So when everyone thinks of the Ming Dynasty, they think of poverty. The poorest people in China during the past 5,000 years were the Ming Dynasty. But it happened that the commodity economy was still the most developed period, but if taxes could not be collected, everything would be in vain.
The examples of the Ming Dynasty are worthy of Xu Wei's vigilance. First, increase the monthly salary of officials, because if you don't increase their income, they will find their own solutions. The system must also be supervised by people. When the entire court begins to become corrupt,
, corruption has become an unspoken rule, and officials will work hard to find loopholes in the system.
Of course, just increasing income is not enough. The Song Dynasty is an example. Officials really regard themselves as the masters of the world. They are so lawless that even the emperor dares to give money to the enemy. Therefore, the supervision of officials must start from now on. Anyone who dares to cross the line
Officials must crack down hard!
The current Tengjia Army basically follows the system of the Han Dynasty. County magistrates and county guards have very great powers. It can be said that all government affairs are handled at once. What Xu Wei has to do now is to separate the judicial power from the supervisory power, and add local
Build a money shop and separate the financial rights from the county magistrates and magistrates. From now on, the Tengjia Army magistrates and county magistrates will have much less power than the magistrates, leaving only the power to handle government affairs! This way, there will be less possibility of corruption.
