Chapter 898: Zhu Biao's Utopia

Zhu Biao should be lucky, and Tian Yan and Zhou Jinwen should also be lucky. Due to the strong cultural and academic style of Qidi, the landlords here are most likely to be associated with the scholarly atmosphere. They are not landlords in the simple sense of Zhu Biao's previous life.

Therefore, the worries of both are greatly reduced.

The land vacated by the relocation of these families, the land wasted in the wars and fighting over the years, the land originally owned by the families that fell in the war, and the public land originally held by the court, Zhu Biao set off a revolution in the twelve states that he could control.

An action to equalize land rights on an unprecedented scale!

Of course, Zhu Biao has not yet reached the point of being selfless to the point of "**". People still have to pay money when they get land. It's just that the money can be repaid in ten or twenty years. A national bank was also established to carry out green loans [see Wang Anshi's Reform]

Young Crop Fund + National Bank Loan], adjust agricultural taxes, and lower the price of Qidi’s agricultural national tax from 11% to 15%. Let the people of Qidi who have just been pleasantly surprised to become self-cultivated farmers once again let out heartfelt cheers

Voice.

Qingdao can enhance the people's ability to resist disasters, and also severely cracks down on private usury, which is of great significance. As for agricultural taxes, as Zhu Biao further announced, it can be paid in both money and grain, that is, if the people want to pay grain, they can pay it in silver.

Silver also frees the common people from a big shackles.

In the past, every year when food was cheap, the court [or local officials read the scriptures incorrectly] would collect money; every year when food was expensive, they would collect grain. For the common people who already shared the heavy burden, this was naked.

Exploit again.

Now Zhu Biao has eliminated the root cause of this bad government from the perspective of national law.

Zhu Biao carried out a lot of political reforms, including the Baojia Law and the labor payment system based on rent and rent, as well as the fact that the small village was a big village and the establishment of village officials, etc. But the ones that had the most profound impact on the people were undoubtedly the above.

Three items.

As soon as this decree came out, Zhu Biao firmly won the hearts and minds of the people in the twelve states. Because this nature was infinitely close to the 'equal land and free grain' that every common people longed for.

But out of the sixteen states of Qi, three states were enfeoffed, so why are there only twelve states?

That's because Zhu Biao also gave a state enfeoffment to his subordinates.

He is not a stingy person, nor is he a foolish person. Zhu Biao knows very well that people love to compare.

If he hadn't feudalized the three states in the south, it would have been easy for everyone under his command. But now that he had feudalized, the Hedong Army was no longer tolerated by the Northern Han Dynasty. The generals who followed him to the end would not believe it if they said they were not envious in their hearts.

Who doesn’t want to have an area of ​​one-third of an acre, where he can be alone, free, and unrestrained.

Feudalism is to give you this three-thirds of an acre of land. You can't lose a big thing for a small amount. Let the team that worked hard and the brothers who have been trusting each other with their lives for many years be alienated from you, right?

Furthermore, three states have been taken out. Zhu Biao is also willing to take out one more state.

Zhu Zhong and Zhu Tong have not yet arrived in Qi State, but Zhu Biao has already prepared to ennoble him as a marquis, with one county for each person. Zhu Ming, Zhu Qiangsheng and others were made uncles, each with three counties. The commander-in-chief of the army has the qualifications.

Li Yan, Li Xian, Zhang Bangyan, and others who had just joined the family recently, including Wang Renqing, Wang Shao, Feng Lei, etc., were also granted the title of uncle. Together with the Liu family, they were all part of the same county, but their territories were quite large.

Small, some are fat and some are thin.

Liang Jin, Zhang Bennan, Ma Yishan, Feng Enjiang, and Yu Shaoan were also earls. Even Zhang He, who had been disabled for many years and retired from the army for many years, was also granted the title of earl. This thing is worthless under Zhu Biao, Han Gang, Han Meng, Zhou Yunfei,

Dou Bing, Xing Tianxiao, Yuan Tong, etc. were either uncles or sons who were willing to establish their own sect. For example, Song Yannan and Li Yixiao also went with them, and they were all divided into places. They were just based on their merits and seniority.

Determine whether it is a separate territory, or it is like the three counties in the south, with low-ranking nobles inserted in the territory. Zhu Biao did not forget the people who followed him.

Including Yan Qing, Yan Zi, Yuantong, Tian Guangzhao, Li Sheng, the Taoist priest of Tongdeng, and others who are still alive, as well as the family members of those who died in the war, as well as Xu Wentao, Pang Liang, Qin Zhuo, etc. who have been burying wires in the Central Plains.

Celebrity awards and awards are so grateful that there is nothing in return!

Knighted——

This thing is too far away from people like them, too far away. And now...how can we not be loyal to Zhu Biao and fulfill his duties?

In addition, there are many people in the army who are commanders and above, not only those who are still alive, but also the generals who died in the battle, and Luo Yaxiu, who followed Zhu Biao and died in the Battle of Xiyang very early. Zhu Biao has found his family and promised

Mingjue did not want to move to Qi State, so all the Zhu family's lands in Hedong were scattered.

As people say: Great feudal ministers. In the thousands of years of history of this world, there has never been a benevolent and tolerant founding master, but there has never been a master like Zhu Biao who did not take the title of Mingjue as a matter of fact. Moreover, Zhu Biao

While we don’t take MG seriously, we also don’t take land seriously. There are only sixteen states in the country, and four states were stripped away at once.

When he proposed this solution, Zhang Bennan, Ma Yishan, Tian Yan and everyone were stunned. Looking at Zhu Biao's eyes, at that moment it was like seeing an alien.

Anyway, Qi's famous names became less valuable from this moment on.

After all, when there are one to two earls, three to seven viscounts, countless barons, and doctors in a county, and there are still four in the majority in such a state, it is no wonder that people don't take the nobles seriously.

Just like Zhu Biao's Beijing in his previous life.

In an ordinary place, one county has two senior officials in power, whether they are the county magistrate or the county party committee secretary, they are all awesome. But when you enter Beijing, you will see a dazzling array of officials, all at the municipal and provincial levels.

Senior officials at the national level and at the national level, as well as county magistrates and county party committee secretaries, are ordinary and can no longer be ordinary.

This is all the same.

In terms of internal affairs, Zhu Biao focused on three main reforms. First, he completely abolished the circulation of silver and gold in the world and replaced it with gold, silver and copper coins issued by the national bank. This completely eliminated the root cause of the bad government, which was the consumption of fire. At the same time, Qi State also became a

The first person in the world to eat crabs.

Since the appearance of gold, silver and copper coins in the Northern Han Dynasty, all the princes in the world have their own gold, silver and copper coins. However, there is no one who can completely abolish the circulation of gold and silver.

This is due to insufficient minting of gold, silver and copper coins, but also to deeper, more complex, and more multi-faceted internal reasons. In the context of a world war, no matter how powerful a monarch is, he would not dare to disturb this hornet's nest at this time.

Therefore, Qi State, which Zhu Biao reopened, became the first.

Second, reform the judiciary. Separate the judiciary from the current bureaucracy system, from the imperial censor to the subordinates of a county to judge the Cao [conviction and sentencing], and the Cao resigned [to preside over litigation].

[Damn, look at the official system of the Han Dynasty. It was much better than that of the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Every bit and every aspect was really taken into consideration. That broken system that was inherited from the Ming and Qing Dynasties is really bad.]

County - prefecture - state - central government, vertical jurisdiction, no longer subordinate to the local government.

Tingwei Mansion continued to be the highest judicial office in the country in the legal system. However, it was limited to the law. Tingwei Ruishi and part of the control over the Ministry of Punishment were deprived. Zhu Biao included the former within the jurisdiction of Zhi Jinwu, which greatly

The authority of this already very powerful official position was strengthened. The latter was completely independent and was granted the title of Yushi Dafu.

At the same time, the Yushitai was reformed. The Yushi doctor could be regarded as Zhu Biao's political and legal committee secretary in his previous life. His powers had not changed much, but the authority of his direct subordinate, the Yushitai's Yushi, had been restricted. Otherwise, Zhu Biao

It was really difficult for Biao to change the censors' bad habit of making random remarks.

Third, Da Si Nong is independent. The national government, that is, the Prime Minister's Office, accordingly promulgates a budget bill for the coming year, convenes all relevant government offices for consultation, and submits it to Da Si Nong for review. Da Si Nong has sufficient reasons to reject it for the entire county.

And each county’s annual expenditures are open and transparent!

A military white paper is unnecessary and impossible to achieve.

Political reforms need to be implemented step by step in a reasonable manner, and the other side of drastic measures is rushing into progress. Therefore, Zhu Biao is even less likely to force officials to disclose these unrealistic changes.

In addition, Zhu Biao ran the first official newspaper in the world, instead of something like Di Bao, which was also the first of its kind. It was used to promote policies, and at the same time, it gradually moved closer to industry and commerce. It integrated itself over time.

.

These are just small details in the overall picture.

The independent Criminal Department is equivalent to the public security, under the county government, each township and each pavilion. The force originally controlled by the Youjiao Pavilion Chief was all brought under the jurisdiction of the Six Gates. The Youjiao in each township became the subordinate police officers of the Six Gates.

, just like the director of a police station. In this way, the strength of the six doors has increased dramatically, although this increase is not in terms of force but in authority.

A considerable group of reduced sergeants entered the six doors.

Zhu Biao's 500,000 troops have been reduced to 400,000, and will be reduced to 300,000 in the future. The military in the four southern states will also gradually withdraw in the next three years. Defense is left to each country to take care of itself.

If Zhu Biao had not thrown out the Three Prefectures first, there might have been quarrels with court officials in many places. Whether it was the independence of the judiciary, Da Si Nong, or the abolition of dual-use currency, they all involved various conflicts of interest.

.I wish Biao Bingwei another victory. When it comes to interests, some people will take desperate risks. Not to mention that foreign workers do not work, are derelict in their duties, and secretly hinder us.

With Zhu Biao's foundation in Qi, it would be impossible to complete such a large-scale restructuring unless the heads of the government and the public were killed and blood flowed like rivers.

But Zhu Biao only has time in the second half of this year. In the coming spring, he will lead an elite team south to the Central Plains to participate in the war.

The King of Xia was so unlucky that under the joint attack of the Qin State and the imperial court, Weizhou was in danger of losing even the battle.

The king of Tang must put pressure on Bingzhou in the east to relieve the pressure on the king of Xia. In order to show results quickly, the trump card in his hand is to play Zhu Biao.

Therefore, Zhu Biao could not stay in Qi for too long, and therefore Qi could not be in chaos. This was also a major factor that prompted Zhu Biao to decide on the 'feudal' idea.

"The land in the four states was cut off, which was a serious loss. But I really don't have time to spend time with these scholars at home. The king of Tang will transfer my son to the west next year, and the domestic situation must be calmed down.

The land of the four states was cut off and stability was bought back. In the countryside of the twelve states, all kinds of forces were almost wiped out. Children could only draw on blank paper and wave it away.

In these four states, sooner or later there will be something concocted."

Who in the world is most opposed to Zhu Biao's feudalism is not the surprised King of Tang, but Zhu's mother who has just arrived in the Eastern Capital.

Her child became the King of Qi. Incomparable joy permeated every cell of her body. On the road from Hedong to Qi State, she was filled with mist and a feeling of ecstasy.

At the same time, in Zhu's mother's heart, everything in the Qi Kingdom, top and bottom, large and small, had become her own private property.

The land of Sixteen Prefectures was suddenly reduced by 25%. Zhu's mother could not look at anything else, but she could still recognize the numbers. She immediately scolded Zhu Biao for being a prodigal! It was as if he had cut out her heart.

Shan Yuping is much smarter than Zhu's mother recently. What she looks at is the de facto independence of the four southern states. What she fears is that if these four states become bigger, will it cause bad problems throughout the country?

The influence further affected the rule of the Zhu family.

As a well-deserved mother of the country, her son has also been confirmed as the heir early. Although he is not the crown prince now, he is protecting Zhu Chun. Her status in the Zhu family is unshakable, and the issue she considers is naturally the long-term future. So.

, she also objected.

It's just that I'm used to Zhu Biao's strong style at home, and I'm not a strong person myself. His performance is far less impressive than that of Zhu Biao's mother.

Zhu Biao really seemed to have picked up a country for nothing and wanted to make the most of it.

Qisha Island will always be the core foundation of the Zhu family. No matter how good the Qi country is, it is just an illusion. Based on this mentality, Zhu Biao has the courage to change the world. But at the same time, the sense of belonging is not enough, and the desire for success arises in his heart.

Okay, the idea was unsuccessful.

He didn't even realize this thought, but Zhu Biao's inadvertence towards Qi Guo was real.

At this moment, Zhu Biao was like getting a big toy by accident. He planned to play with it and fiddle with it. If it really broke, he would throw it away.

Zhu Biao, who has always positioned Qisha Island as the core of the family, has always been thinking about the category of force. In his subconscious, he has also been insisting that becoming a family of martial arts is far more important than becoming a royal family.

Safety.

This is based on his own tyrannical force, the strong capital of the Zhu family, and the long existence of the two "famous sects" of good and evil in the Central Plains martial arts.

Daodegong and Leiyin Temple are its most outstanding representatives.

How could Zhu Biao, whose mind was still deeply affected by this idea, take Qi Guo too seriously? Thus, the current scene unfolded.

The capital of Lieshui Kingdom—Wongjin.

This place, which was originally a county-level city, has been prospering on the basis of its original status since it was transferred to a country by Jin Wuke.

In just a few years, the city has begun to expand. The population has increased from less than 40,000 households to 50,000 or 60,000 households. And the population of 50,000 to 60,000 households, or more than 200,000, is the same in the entire Eastern Outer Territory.

Many are prosperous.

The Yeolsu Royal Palace, which was built on the basis of a former palace of the nobles of Goryeo, is rich and splendid. It seems to be no less powerful than the original Goryeo Royal Palace in Jinchong.

Although this palace was like a ferocious beast that swallowed up the lives of thousands of Korean workers.

But the Koreans are inferior people from the Yeosu Kingdom. In the Yeosu Kingdom, the Mohe people, who account for only 10% of the total population, are the first ethnic group. The Bohae people, the Heisui Yi people, and the Japanese people form the backbone of the country.

The second class, the Koreans, who accounted for more than 60% of the total population, were the lowest class.

Regardless of whether they were Mohe people, Bohai people, Yi people, or Japanese people, even if they killed a Korean in the street without any complaint or reason, they would only be compensated with a cow or dozens of taels of silver at most.

The hatred of the tribes extended to this first-established country. Whether they were Mohe people, Bohai people, Yi people or Japanese people, they all took the anger they suffered from Goryeo, the most powerful country in the East, and vented it on Goryeo, which was now subjugated and enslaved.

On people.

No one thinks this is a wrong approach. In the Outer Territories of the East, defeated ethnic tribes are collectively demoted as slaves. It shouldn't be too normal.

However, today there are many dignitaries and dignitaries gathered in the Lieshui Palace. What Jin Wuke wants to discuss is not about the Korean people. It is about the great changes in the Qi Kingdom in the south of Lieshui Kingdom in the past two years.

This former most powerful country in the East, after being pinned to the ground and violently beaten by the Koreans, when Lieshui Kingdom was still a tribe of Lieshui, the high-ranking people had lost the deterrence they should have had.

Therefore, the upper echelons of Lieshui Kingdom dared to go to Lieshui in Qi State in the past few years. This is because Qi State has no longer any deterrence in their hearts. It is no longer a tall and mighty giant, but

It's a decaying statue.

But now things have changed. The famous Zhu Biao became the new king of Qi. He also used the land of the four states to control the feudal ministers and famous families in the world. He also used a series of means to firmly entrench the hearts of the people of the remaining twelve states.

Hold it firmly in your hands.

Of course, many of these upper-level figures in the Lieshui Kingdom did not understand. They only knew about Zhu Biao's power and reputation. In their view, Qi State had changed from a decaying statue to a man-eating tiger!

It has become scarier and more shocking than before.

The newborn in Lieshui Kingdom dared to scratch the itch of the decaying statue, but he did not dare to provoke Zhu Biao, a ferocious beast. Countless enemies had already confirmed his reputation with their blood.

The Lieshui Kingdom is a country composed of barbarians. It is their survival instinct to bully the weak and fear the strong.

"In short, it's just one sentence, live your life honestly."

"Don't worry about the Lieshui River. I am writing to the King of Qi to make a sacrifice to my benefactor by the Lieshui River. We will send representatives to worship our benefactor every year on the day of the Lieshui River..."

"You go back and restrain the cubs below one by one. Especially those who are close to Qi Di, they must not be like before. Zhu Biao, this fierce tiger, devoured our country of Lieshui in one bite, and even hiccupped.

"

"We must abide by etiquette and laws, and abide by the rules of the Qi Kingdom. Also, I plan to take advantage of this year's New Year to submit a request for a seal. Our Lieshui Kingdom is only a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. But that is because we think

Dongyu Qilu is useless.

But now with the fierce tiger Zhu Biao, Qi has regained its national prestige. We are separated from the King of Tang by one layer. If we really have a conflict with Zhu Biao, will the King of Tang give up Zhu Biao to help us?

This is impossible. Therefore, to prepare for a rainy day, I will first submit a form to Dongdu..."
