In the Battle of Gaoque, the Han Dynasty gained benefits, in addition to military, national defense and strategic advantages.
It also included a large number of captives, a large number of livestock, and vast fertile pastures.
Although it is not yet possible to calculate exactly how many prisoners of war and livestock were captured.
However, judging from estimates, this was also a great victory in which at least hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war and surrenders were captured, and as many as hundreds of thousands of livestock were seized and gathered.
Naturally, it was impossible for these prisoners of war and surrenders to enjoy national treatment as soon as they arrived in the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che was not stupid enough to be as stupid as Bai Zuo in later generations of Europa. He opened his arms and gave outsiders national treatment, or even super-national treatment, regardless of right or wrong or the reason.
Although China has not been a nation and country defined by blood and birth since ancient times.
It has never been an exclusive nation.
However, if you make no contribution, you can enjoy national treatment if you surrender.
Where did the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Han army and countless heroes over the decades be put?
Where should we put the people who work for the country's prosperity and social stability?
Therefore, it is obvious that these captives and surrenders must be tested first.
What kind of test?
Of course, like the Zhongyong Army, they first went to dig mountains and dig roads, build bridges and pave roads for the Han family, and at the same time receive ideological education and value correction.
Until they recognized themselves as members of the Zhuxia nation and were willing to contribute their own strength to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time made their own contribution to the development and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che would recognize and accept them and develop
Give them the Han household registration book, and grant them fields and houses.
Naturally, in this way, the Han Dynasty obtained a free labor force totaling hundreds of thousands.
They alone are enough to offset the labor gap caused by Liu Che's early retirement of citizens.
Not to mention, there are hundreds of thousands of livestock.
Liu Che planned to divide the livestock into three parts this time.
The best group is naturally used as seeds and as the female parent for breeding.
Second-rate, as a donor of the fake livestock policy, preferential loans are given to the poor and farmers.
You must know that this year, Guanzhong will officially accept the people of the eighteen counties north of Xin'an, and will also promote the food protection policy and the fake livestock policy to the Sanhe area.
This will naturally require a large number, even a massive number of livestock.
Especially for cattle and draft horses, the demand may be more than 50,000!
This seizure should be enough to meet this demand.
As for the last part, Liu Che planned to use it as funds to hire people, build tracks and open up Kunming Lake.
The advantage of this is that livestock can be directly converted into money.
It can perfectly transform the captured livestock into national strength, and it can also reduce the deflation caused by the insufficient circulation of five baht coins.
"I can be regarded as a mutant who feeds on war by fighting..." Liu Che thought in his heart and looked at the ministers at the same time.
Another benefit brought by victory is that he can harvest a wave of wealth from the relatives of the princes, ministers and relatives in an open and honest manner.
Over the years, in the name of collecting money, he has recovered at least a total of 200,000 gold from the nobles.
But less than 30,000 gold were left among them, and they were turned into artifacts enshrined in the ancestral temple.
As for the rest…
If a son, grandson, or great-grandson steals money from his father, grandfather, or great-grandfather, can that be called stealing?
Moreover, Liu Che did not treat his ancestors badly.
After blackening the gold, a large number of exquisite porcelain and bronze vessels were enshrined.
Besides, the ancestors have all gone to the Nine Springs, so it is useless to ask for gold.
Moreover, China's funeral rituals since ancient times will definitely improve with the progress of the times.
In the past, during the Spring and Autumn Period, nobles were buried and a large number of people died.
But in the late Spring and Autumn Period, human sacrifice gradually disappeared, and pottery figurines were used instead.
Even Confucius, who always claimed to maintain the ritual system of the Zhou dynasty, praised: Whoever created the figurines had no descendants? They were used to resemble humans, so why did they starve the people to death?
The old almanac based on the ancestral system will definitely not work.
An alternative must be found.
In Liu Che's view, the replacement of gold by porcelain is a historical necessity.
Moreover, no matter from any aspect, porcelain can survive longer and last longer than gold!
If too much gold is buried, there will definitely be countless tomb robbers.
But if countless porcelains are buried with them, the interest of tomb robbers may be greatly reduced. At least, before society develops to the point of later generations, there should not be many people willing to rob porcelains that are neither edible nor usable.
Therefore, Liu Che felt very magnanimous.
He himself has already realized that he will never take half of a gold vessel underground after his death, and he will not be allowed to have half a gold vessel in the future ancestral temple.
Gold and silver are the foundation of national finance and the embodiment of national strength.
It cannot be used to accompany the deceased, nor can it be used as a religious item.
It should serve its purpose!
Thinking of this, Liu Che looked at the ministers and gave his third order of the day: "Sima Fa said: The military reward will not exceed a month, and I want the people to get the benefits of good deeds quickly! I am a general, a soldier, a loyal minister, and a righteous man.
I ordered you to report the meritorious generals and soldiers, record their meritorious deeds, list them in order, and report them in front of me!"
This is also Liu Che's characteristic.
Rewards always come quickly and on time, never in arrears, never engulfed or usurped.
This is also the basic requirement that any boss who wants to be successful must first meet.
Companies that even default on their employees’ wages and bonuses will take a pill sooner or later!
After reading out this order, Liu Che took the officials and went to Hui Temple, Taizong Temple and Renzong Temple in order to offer sacrifices.
Among them, Huimiao is just a formality.
Anyway, Cao Qidu, the last loyal minister of Emperor Hui, Pingyang Jianhou, has been dead for several years, and his bones are all rotten.
As for the basic factions of Emperor Hui such as Liuhou and Zanhou, they have almost disappeared without a trace.
The Liuhou family no longer even has a nobleman above the official rank.
But the ceremonies in Taizong Temple and Renzong Temple are no less grand than those in Gaomiao.
Especially among the Renzong Temple, the scale and grandeur almost surpass that of the Gao Temple of Sacrifice.
This is also natural. Taizong Temple is the origin of Liu Che's lineage, and Renzong Temple is Liu Che's own father's temple.
No matter how grand it is, it is never too grand.
Moreover, Liu Che really needs to get blessings from his ancestors again.
What kind of blessing?
Of course, it is the blessing of Minister Taizong and Minister Renzong to punish and investigate crimes!
Only two days after the sacrifice, Liu Che suddenly issued an edict to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple for the ancestral ancestral temple.
Or for reasons such as lack of financial resources, the titles of these eighteen marquises will be revoked, the feudal states will be deposed, and the feudal lands will be taken back on the charge of disrespect.
This blow immediately put the entire old princes group and the old bureaucratic group in danger.
But in Liu Che's view, this still gave face to the heroes.
Otherwise, the person who was deposed would not be an eighteenth-ranked prince.
But one hundred and eight.
And all of these eighteen people have a history of committing suicide.
Let’s not talk about the various jumps up and down in the past.
Just in the recent national debt incident, he pushed back and refused to fulfill his obligations as a prince.
It is completely reasonable for Liu Che to seize their kingdoms, titles and privileges.
However, what the emperor thought was reasonable and reasonable was not viewed that way by others.
On this day, countless Han Dynasty ministers and veterans recalled the fear that they had been dominated by Liu's narrow-mindedness and vengeful character.
The old Liu family has always been like this since Liu Bang.
Whoever makes me unhappy, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life.
Typical examples such as Yong Chi and Zhang Shizhi are enough to prove Liu's character.
Of course, this matter also reassured other ministers.
Because on the other side of the vengeful side, Liu is famous for being protective of others and likes to take care of his own people.
I think back then, Lu Wan even did things like treason, but she still hoped to explain to Liu Bang that it was not your brothers who wanted to mess with you, but the people below who wanted to mess with your brothers, and your brothers had nothing to do...
It was not until later that he heard that Liu Bang had died that he took his troops and horses to defect to the Huns.
The other one is the famous Zhang Er.
How many bad things did the Zhang family do?
But because of Zhang Er, life during the Liu Bang and Empress Lu periods was very nourishing.
During the reign of the late Emperor, Chao Cuo was Liu's living advertisement in this regard.
How many people did Chao Cuo offend? How many extraordinary things did he do?
But he is still active and active. Not only is he active and active, but his official position is getting higher and higher. Now he is a third official.
As for Zhidu, executioners like Zhang Tang were even more at home and lived very well.
In other words, as long as the posture of kneeling and licking is correct and the time is correct, then glory and wealth will naturally be inevitable.
Therefore, after being stunned for half a second, everyone wrote letters, praised, and flattered everyone. Everyone said: Your Majesty is wise and discovered the unruly behavior of Zhuang Wuhou and other ministers in time. This is beyond the reach of stupid ministers.
Ah, your majesty, please accept my humble worship...
As for the unlucky ones like Zhuang Wuhou Song Chang?
Who will care about their life and death, their whining, or whether they have been wronged?
In today's Han Dynasty, new interest groups and new bureaucratic groups have emerged in an all-round way, and they have accelerated the pace of seizing power.
Lantai ministers almost became the second court of the Han Dynasty. Many policies were first discussed and discussed by Lantai, and then handed over to an emerging official to experiment and pilot. After that, they were popularized in Guanzhong, and finally promoted to
The world.
If it weren't for the fact that the Han family's court is now filled with famous ministers like rain, fierce generals like clouds, and countless strong men.
It is possible for Lantai to empty the court and let the prime minister, the imperial censor, and the nine ministers watch the play.
As for the army?
That would be a completely different scene.
Almost most of the old nobles have lost control of the current Han army.
The emerging military interest groups, with the help of Mayi and Gaoque, have completed the replacement of the old and the new in the two battles.
The Marquis of Changping, the Marquis of Quzhou, and the Marquis of Gonggao, who were once so powerful in the world, have all been relegated to the second rank.
Now, those who carry the military banner of the Han Dynasty are Yizong, Zhidu, and Cheng Bushi.
Under such circumstances, in fact, Liu Che has completed the first step of his transformation.
In today's situation, as long as you don't get too far away, you won't make irreparable mistakes.
So, even if Liu Che launched a major change comparable to Wang Anshi's reform, it would be easy.
But he knows that the time has not yet come, and he should wait until the old aristocrats and old-style bureaucrats have basically withdrawn and the entire country is occupied by new officials and new aristocrats before he implements his more radical policies.
Fang is the kingly way.
After all, the results of the reform of the Celestial Empire proved it.
No reform can be expected to be achieved overnight.
Five years to tie the Liaoning and ten years to catch up with the Premier League and the United States. That is not only a joke, but also a tragedy.
Anyway, he is young and can afford to wait.
The current situation and situation in this country are far from the time when it is necessary to reform and reform immediately in order to save the nation and survive.
Therefore, Liu Che just rolled up his sleeves and quietly waited for the wheel of history to run over those guys who could no longer adapt to the changes in the world and the times.
For example...the Lu-Ru faction.
After struggling and persevering for several years, the Lu and Ru family finally came to complete decline and demise.
According to Xiu Yiwei's report, as of winter and November of the sixth year of Yuan De, the total number of members of the Lu Ru faction that could be verified did not exceed a thousand.
Almost all other people from the Lu and Ru faction changed their banners.
Some people even fell into the arms of the Legalists, the Huang-Lao School, and even the Mohists.
The Confucius family who moved east to Korea also suffered repeated setbacks and finally recognized the reality.
They sent people back to Qufu and sold off all the land and houses. This meant that Kong was finally persuaded by Liu Che's big stick and gave up his plan to continue to be parasitic and rooted in the people and the land.
The life of the Kong family in North Korea was not very good either.
Although Confucius' reputation has attracted some followers and supporters.
But in Korea and Andong, the most popular and accepted school was Zajia.
You know, the current imperial tutors of the current Korean king Liu Ming are Han Anguo and Zhang Yu.
Although Zhang Yu's stance favors Confucianism, he is a soldier.
As for Han Anguo...hehehehe...he is a genuine and incomparable descendant of the miscellaneous family.
His teacher was Mr. Tian from Zouxian County, and Mr. Tian was the orthodox successor of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"...
Therefore, the life of the Kong family in North Korea has long lost its glory as it did in Qilu.
Just like the declining Wang Xie family during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they gradually fell into the ordinary and disappeared from everyone.
"That's fine..." After Liu Che learned about this, he first sighed with emotion, and then said: "China should not have a family that lasts for thousands of years, nor should there be a family that lasts for generations... It doesn't matter if it's a teacher for all generations.
, saints or not, this is the honor of our ancestors, and future generations should not and cannot rest on the merits of their ancestors and wait to die, even in the land of fish and meat!"
Even Zhou Gong's family declined and disappeared in time.
The bloodline of Duke Zhao is almost impossible to find.
The Xia Hou family, Yin Shang family, and Zong Zhou Ji family all also lived in the homes of ordinary people.
The Xuanyuan clan, the Fuxi clan, and the Shaohao clan were lost in the long river of history and merged with thousands of other Xia people.
How can you, the Kong family, be so virtuous and capable that you can remain prosperous for thousands of years, regardless of the change of dynasties?
Confucius himself said that the glory of a saint can only be cut down in five lifetimes.
Now, there are more than five lifetimes?
It is time for the Kong family to say goodbye to the honor of their ancestors.
From now on, they can still call themselves descendants of Confucius and the blood of Confucian sages.
However, if you want to enjoy privileges and wealth without making any contribution, that is a dream!!!!!!
As for Lu Ru?
With less than a thousand members, it is destined that if they cannot make changes, win people's hearts, attract the attention of the world, and at the same time conform to the pulse of the times, otherwise, the fate of Yang Zhu School and famous scholars will be the future of Lu Ru.
"Continue to monitor Lu Ru..." Liu Che issued his order.
Will Lu Ru’s future be revitalized or destroyed?
Liu Che didn't care.
Liu Che now just wants to find out how a school of thought died out by observing Lu Ru.
Or, how does a school that is about to die out gradually pick up the pieces, turn things around, and save the world through its continuous efforts?
Regardless of the outcome, it can leave a legacy to future generations.
And with the change of yin and yang, when one dies, there must be another rise.
After the decline of Lu-Confucianism, the Simeng School, which had been suppressed by the Lu-Confucian faction and had almost no room for voice and activity, and the Chongmin School, which was born out of the Simeng School, sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain in Qufu and Luoyang, one after another every day.
More and more people, especially the supporters of the Lu-Confucian school in the past, are embracing the Simeng school and the Chongmin school.
Even the famous Confucian spiritual leader Lu Shen Gong stood up and praised the Simeng school some time ago.
Under such a situation, the Simeng School successfully replaced the Lu and Confucian factions in the court. The most important thing was the positions of Taixue professors vacated by the Lu and Confucian groups. (To be continued.)
