"Don't you have any good ideas?" Liu Bei came to Chen Xi just to solve the problem of the emperor. Without the emperor, many parts that need to be completed by the emperor himself would be very troublesome. But when it comes to supporting Liu Tong on the throne, Liu Bei himself can't do it.
This face.
"Really don't come to me about this, I don't have much else to do." Chen Xi shook his head repeatedly. There was nothing he could do about it. It was impossible to change people. Even if Liu Tong fell in the future, it would be in the future.
We must not fall down now.
There is absolutely no second emperor who is better than the mascot Liu Tong. Liu Bei will definitely have conflicts with Sun Ce and Cao Cao when he comes to power. A large part of the reason for the unscrupulous enfeoffment of aristocratic families is that the emperor of Chang'an is indifferent.
status.
Or more directly, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who should really take charge of this matter, is not online at all. The three gongs and nine ministers only have the right to make suggestions on this matter, and without the emperor on the throne, no matter how far it is done, as long as the general direction is OK, then
There is a chance for a quarrel.
After Liu Bei ascended the throne, no matter how much development was done, power would be concentrated in the central government. This was a sign of a centralized system, but it is not suitable now.
"Then we can only continue." Liu Bei sighed and said. He had no intention of coveting the throne. He had thought clearly about that position now. That's all. If he went up by himself, it would actually be a good thing for the now enterprising Han Empire.
There are still certain restrictions, but without an emperor, many rituals will have huge problems.
"Anyway, it will definitely be settled. At the worst, we will just change the etiquette system. The Zhou etiquette can also be used. It is the same as the same line. It is not a big problem." Chen Xile said with a smile. Anyway, after doing your best, you will be fine with etiquette.
.
However, Chen Xi’s words are not nonsense. This kind of situation without an emperor has indeed never happened in the Qin and Han dynasties, but it does not mean that it has not happened before. There was a period of time in the Western Anniversary Period when King Zhou Li made mistakes and offended all the people in the country, so
The people of the country rioted and drove King Zhou Li away.
However, one thing that was very important at that time was that the profession of emperor was very sacred, and ordinary people could not ascend to the throne. However, after King Zhou Li ran away, the country still had to function without the emperor, and the princes and kings had to be managed well, and the country still had to function.
There were no sacrifices, so the Chinese people established a new system - the republican system!
Because of this great fun, the year when the republican system was established was called the First Year of the Republic. From this year onwards, China began to have a stable and accurate way of counting the years.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that King Zhou Li is not dead. Although he drove the emperor away, according to the system at that time, ordinary soldiers were not qualified to capture the princes. Only nobles with jade can invite them. Therefore, Zhou Li
The king just ran away, not finished.
In addition, at that time, it was emphasized that there were no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. Although the emperor ran away, he could not re-establish a new emperor, so he started a republic. It was not until King Zhou Li died that the republican system was restored again.
feudal system.
The most important thing is that there has been no emperor in these fourteen years, and sacrifices and wars are still being carried out, and they are done very well. Therefore, the Zhou royal family has left behind a lot of experience, and at that time,
During the Republic, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty was in Haojing. Later, when the Western Zhou Dynasty moved, Da Qin squatted and nationalized these materials. Now they are all in the treasury of the Han Dynasty.
Well, according to Chen Xi's estimation, even if it is not in the treasury of the Han Dynasty, there must be someone who has the information. At most, they don't want to use Zhou Li. After all, the Han Dynasty has been running for four hundred years. Suddenly, someone
I am quite unhappy with the ancient rituals. Confucianism is about worshiping the ancients, but that does not mean that everyone worships the ancients.
"Okay, I always feel that something is not good. By the way, why do I feel that the two palaces in front of Weiyang Palace are being built at an accelerated pace recently?" Liu Bei thought for a while and changed the topic. Since there is no other way, then
I can only make do with it.
"We have a plan for the end of the year. The half-finished project is not going well, and the Da Yueshi are coming soon. I estimate that by the time they come, the two palaces will be close to being capped." Chen Xi didn't really want to speed up, because there was no need.
, but the Wei family seems to have had a lot of energy recently, and they are able to concentrate their resources on this. Chen Xi can't refuse, so let's do it.
"It costs hundreds of millions." Liu Bei said with emotion.
"It's just a lie to others. I don't know what I paid." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "Hey, the main reason is that there are few people. In the past few years, there were refugees everywhere. It is really easy to recruit workers. In the past two years, it has been
It really doesn’t work anymore. I originally planned to renovate Wancheng in Nanyang, but unfortunately there are not enough people now, and there is no need to use work-for-relief services.”
"Isn't this good?" Liu Bei said angrily. In his opinion, this is the real peace in the world. Even if there is still war outside and there is no internal turmoil, the people can still say that they have enough food and clothing. That's all. And
What's wrong.
"It's not that it's not good, it's just that the current social productivity has limited my own limits. I haven't reached the limit, but society has reached the limit." Chen Xi sighed and said.
This is not a boast, but a fact. The closer to 7% of the unemployed population, the more Chen Xi understands the limits of feudal society. If he cannot pass that hurdle, his limit is the weirdly developed urbanization rate and astonishing urbanization rate of the Song Dynasty.
The level of industry and commerce has forced the feudal era, which was originally centered on agricultural taxes, to be dominated by industry and commerce.
This can be said to be the pinnacle of industry and commerce in the feudal era. The tax revenue from industry and commerce can reach two to three times the total agricultural tax. This level of economy coupled with the almost abnormal level of fighting power of the Han Dynasty, it is really difficult to say that the opponent is his own son.
I think highly of the other person.
However, this is not enough for Chen Xi. How can he liberate more people? He can create more and more refined social division of labor, but without more people, what is there to do!
Compared with incentives to stimulate population growth, Chen Xi estimates that primitive power is the direction of social development. Major changes in population structure will also have an impact on the overall social system, and the adjustment difficulty of the latter is probably equivalent to making dozens of the former.
times, so Chen Xi finally chose the power machine. Anyway, the template already existed, so it was just a matter of simplification.
Liu Bei was speechless after hearing this. Although he did not understand what Chen Xi meant, this did not prevent Liu Bei from feeling that Chen Xi was really powerful and speechless.
"Ah, that's about it. At the end of the year, Xianglishi will also come to Chang'an. I'll go ask about the situation." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I hope Xianglishi can handle it. After all, standardization, standard parts, and assembly lines
They can all do it. It’s just a matter of time for them to do this, so it should be no problem.”
"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, just don't be disturbed by external things. Just set your goal and move forward in big strides." Liu Bei said with a smile.
At this moment, Liu Chan's little head popped in from outside the door. Liu Chan, who was wearing a dark velvet jacket, looked at Chen Xi eagerly.
"Come in." Liu Bei waved to Liu Chan, and then Liu Chan came in with his sister. Liu Chan, who was seven or eight years old, first saluted Liu Bei, and then saluted Chen Xi.
Liu Bei likes Liu Chan very much, because Liu Chan is very open-minded and informal. As for how Liu Bei figured it out, this kid has been beaten several times by Chen Qian, who is younger than him, but he never holds grudges, and he still eats every time he has something to eat.
Chen Qian was generously fed, and she looked forward to seeing her old age at the age of three. This child has a great future, and at least he is a loyal and open-minded person.
"What did you learn today?" Chen Xi bent down and said to Liu Chan with a smile, because he had seen Chen Qian beating Liu Chan several times.
"I will learn martial arts today." Liu Chan said obediently, "Teacher will teach me archery."
"It's good to keep fit!" Chen Xi said with satisfaction.
"No, the teacher said that martial arts are killing skills. Strengthening the body is second, and protecting the family and the country is the right way." Liu Chan refuted Chen Xi's words very seriously. Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei strangely, and his eyes seemed to say, "You are looking for
What kind of master is he?
Liu Bei coughed softly twice and sent a message to Chen Xi, "The teachers who teach Chan'er martial arts are all arranged by me from Suwei. Replacement of teachers every once in a while will help me recognize the person.
Chan'er understands the world. It's not a good thing to be better than women, and it's also a good thing to meet all kinds of people."
If Liu Bei ascends the throne and makes Liu Chan the prince, then the person who teaches Liu Chan martial arts needs to think carefully about it. But Liu Chan is not the prince, so instead of finding an excellent swordsman to teach him, it is better to let Liu Chan meet more people.
, I saw another side of this country from these various middle-level generals.
Books are important, but swords are more important. Liu Bei is relatively optimistic about Liu Chan. A generous and open-minded person has a great advantage in the smooth transfer of power. Therefore, Liu Bei early let Liu Chan come into contact with the other side of the world. After all, everything about the Han Empire
It was typed.
"Then you might as well take him to visit the four directions of Chang'an, and then go to the Yaoshan area." Chen Xi looked at Liu Chan, who had already gained some momentum, and said to Liu Bei, "Ten thousand books, ten thousand miles of road."
, read books, then look at the real society, look at the affluent Chang'an, then look at the remote mountainous areas, learn the sword of the emperor, and learn the sword of the common people."
Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi dumbly, but he did not expect that Chen Xi actually believed that Liu Chan had the qualifications to succeed Liu Tong as he did.
"Go, take your sister out to play. Your Uncle Chen and I have something to talk about." Liu Bei sent Liu Chan out and asked Chen Xi to call him daddy in private.
Chen Qun was interested, but in front of others, he was the right-hand man who was an official in the same dynasty.
"You also think Chan'er is good?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"The eldest son, he is kind-hearted and very good." Chen Xi said casually.
Ability is ability, character is character, and history has verified that Liu Chan has a chance to become Qi Huangong, but it is a pity that Kong Ming is not here.
