The first thousand four hundred and fifty-third section storm 2
When these government officials heard this, they did not doubt that he was there, and quickly replied in a flattering manner: "Sir, the Yang family's wife lives in House No. 24 A..."
Liu Che nodded and pursed his lips after hearing this, and a guard immediately handed him a few five-baht gold coins as a reward.
As soon as the other party got it, he immediately became overjoyed.
Nowadays, gold and silver baht are not uncommon in Chang'an market.
This kind of gold coin minted by the emperor was even very popular in the trade of the nine cities in Chang'an.
Because this gold coin has a high gold content, is beautiful, light, and easy to carry, its market price is also very high.
Currently, one gold five baht can be exchanged for at least one hundred and thirty five baht coins!
These amount to a few hundred dollars, equivalent to a month's salary and allowances for several of them.
"This noble young master is so generous!" These people held the gold coins and left happily, their faces full of joy.
I immediately planned to go to Willow Alley to have some fun tonight!
Several newly opened ecstasy caves in Liuxiang are now said to have exotic women, the prices are relatively low, and they are opening barbarian meat!
Liu Che looked at the backs of these people and sneered twice.
Ever since Uncle Tian gradually stopped dealing with the specific matters of internal history, the yamen has been gradually decaying, degenerating, and being infiltrated and disintegrated by various forces.
Especially the bureaucracy around Chang'an City and Gyeonggi Province.
This is also normal.
Chang'an is a big place with too many temptations.
Officials are not saints. When faced with sugar-coated bullets, their resistance is basically negative.
How many men can hold their own in front of money and women?
Liu Che had never imagined that Haiyanheqing and the bureaucrats below were honest and diligent and accomplished something.
He turned a blind eye to many things.
As long as the people below don't cross the line, he won't bother to care.
But bureaucrats have always cared more about food than fighting.
Even though they were beaten again and again by him, these scumbags were like goldfish, with only seven seconds of memory.
There is no way, this is bureaucracy!
Throughout the ages, countless facts have proven that even if you take a knife and clean it over and over again, you can only temporarily make them honest for a year or two at most.
As time goes by, they will sprout and even get worse.
Countless people, wise kings, and even powerful overlords have used countless methods.
Zhu Yuanzhang invented the anti-corruption policy of relying on the power of the people, which involved removing the skin and removing the grass, and implicated nine ethnic groups. It was not unsevere.
A foolish person like Emperor Chongzhen also fantasized about a wise king and virtuous ministers, and an upright and prosperous court.
Even later Western countries deliberately formulated countless laws and various systems in an attempt to nip the inertia and greed of the bureaucratic system in the bud and lock power into the cage of the so-called system.
But all policies, laws, and systems ultimately fail!
Liu Che naturally didn't have any good ideas.
But there was one thing that he knew and understood.
Bureaucracy is a small thing.
It must be beaten hard!
If you don't beat it, it won't know the rules or the importance!
Of course, like all the little ones, after the beating, you have to give them a sweet date and say some kind words.
Only in this way will it behave!
Although this method can only treat the symptoms and cannot cure the root cause at all, it is still a method after all!
Just like what Emperor Xuan said: The Han family has its own system, which is compounded by the Tao of Overlord.
This sentence condenses all the essence and central idea of the emperor's governance.
………………………………
After learning about Yang Wei's home, Liu Che quickly found it.
this is very simple.
Because the Han Dynasty currently implements a house number system similar to that of later generations in Chang'an.
Twenty-five households in a village were divided into A, B, C, and D, and W, which were similar to the gates of a community in later generations.
The character A refers to a building, and house No. 24 refers to the twenty-four rooms.
Doing so can greatly facilitate the state's control and control over urban residents.
The only reason is that Chang'an City has just been renovated and there has not yet been time to implement a system such as neighborhood committees.
But Liu Che already had such a plan.
Within the Lu li, the autonomous system of the Lu li is implemented.
And just like the Mohists in the market, the people in Luli voted to decide the person in charge of the Western Han-style neighborhood committee, and such people represented the whole Luli in dealing with and negotiating with the government.
In this way, the power of the people can be guaranteed and the emergence of powerful families can be prevented.
Just like those who exercise power, once they lose the support of the government or market merchants, they will immediately bow down and step down.
Walking to the twenty-fourth house named A, Liu Che knocked on the door. Several cute children poked their heads out of the threshold and looked at Liu Che and his party. A boy who looked about five or six years old whispered: "Dear guests, please
Who are you looking for? Mother is not at home, grandma is resting in bed..."
Liu Che chuckled, squatted down, and smiled at the child who looked like an adult and said: "I am your father's brother. I just returned from Yanji. I heard about your situation, so I came to take a look...
"
A grandnephew of Lord Xinyang did go to the Yanji battlefield to make soy sauce.
However, he never went to the front line, but hid far away in the safety of Jicheng, waving flags and shouting.
When the overall situation was decided, this guy took hundreds of retainers and went to the front line to grab the credit.
Then he was caught by Bo Shi, who gave him a severe beating with a military stick until his nose and tears flowed out, and he was finally sent back to Chang'an.
This guy is thinking about his past behind closed doors now!
But it's just a vest, so there's no need to take it too seriously.
After hearing Liu Che's words and looking at Liu Che's entourage and clothes, the child hesitated for a while, then slowly opened the door and said: "Uncle, come in quickly. If those evil people find out, I'm afraid they will come.
Looking for trouble for you..."
Liu Che laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Young man, don't be afraid. Just call me uncle, and I promise that no one will dare to bully you again in the future!"
The emperor's nephew, even in name only, who in Chang'an would dare to bully him?
Mr. Liu has no other special qualities, but he loves to cherish his shortcomings, loves to hold grudges, and will retaliate for his anger.
Liu Che said and walked in with Sima Xiangru, and his accompanying guards immediately stood on both sides of the door, like statues.
Walking into this small house, Liu Che looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
In this project to transform Chang'an, Liu Che stole a system from Khrushchev in terms of residential buildings.
Almost all residential buildings are products of modular production and standardized manufacturing.
After all, for most people, some houses are just fine to live in, and they don't have to be picky, nor do they pursue individuality or art.
Therefore, most of the residential buildings in Chang'an are now carved from the same model.
All the wall bricks were fired by the Shaofu outside Chang'an City, and all the beams were trees cut down from the Qinling Mountains.
Even the lime and tiles are basically produced by a large workshop.
In this way, costs are greatly saved and construction speed is greatly accelerated.
A new building can be completed from demolition to reconstruction in half a month.
Because of its simple structure, solidity and practicality, this new type of residential house was widely loved by the people of Chang'an and was called "Liu's House".
This kind of 'Liu's house' is basically the same.
There are three bedrooms and one living room, with a simple toilet behind the living room. Each room is about the same size, just enough to fit a kang and a cabinet for storing clothes.
The yard is also very small, and you can't even grow vegetables. At most, you can only grow some flowers and grass.
The cost is also very low. If the value of the land is not included, such a house will only cost more than 7,000 yuan (the cost reduction brought about by large-scale construction is particularly large).
In other words, in a strict sense, Liu Che made a profit by transforming Chang'an Luli this time.
However, it is not like Chang'an Nine Market, which is full of food, and these investments will actually take ten years to slowly recover.
However, this is a public infrastructure investment. Not to mention making some profits, we will still make losses.
"Uncle..." Without paying attention, the children struggled to carry a basket and walked up to Liu Che and said: "Please eat peaches... This is sent by Uncle Wang from the neighbor's house...
"
Liu Che took a look and saw some small dried peach slices lying in the small basket. It looked like they should be dried peaches.
There are many peaches of this kind in Shanglin Garden. Every autumn, people near Shanglin Garden always pick some and take them home for their children to eat. If they can't finish eating, they slice them up and dry them in the sun as snacks.
Liu Che picked up a small piece and took a bite. It felt pretty good, with a slight sourness and a hint of sweetness.
"Xiao Langjun, your grandmother is ill in bed?" Liu Che squatted down with a smile and asked the boy: "Please take your uncle to visit the old man..."
"No!" the little boy bowed.
So, he led Liu Che into the bedroom with his two sisters, one by one.
This made Liu Che couldn't help but sigh, these children are really simple and naive. If he had any malicious intentions, they might...
Nowadays, the disappearance rate of children in Chang'an is very high.
However, few people care about this matter.
In fact, no one has ever taken care of this matter.
The reason is very simple. Those who lose their children are just mud-legged children. The children of monk Qili, Guanli and the gentlemen of Beique have never had any problems.
I don't feel any pain at all, I just want the officials to take care of these things.
hehe……
After entering the room, Liu Che looked around and found that this family was really poor!
There was no decent furniture in the entire living room, only a few ceramic bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks placed on a table.
The table was also very old, even the paint was peeling off.
Instead, there was a long sword and a hard bow hanging on the wall.
It looks well maintained and looks good.
This is also the habit of the people in Guanzhong today.
You can have nothing at home, but you must have weapons.
Weapons are the foundation of a family, a shield against outsiders, a guarantee to maintain the family's final dignity, and the only way a family can move up a hierarchy.
It's just that, even now, a man born in the lower class wants to earn a future for his family with the three-foot sword in his hand.
Disaster!
It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven!
Now, it is no longer the fourth year of Yuande. A poor boy can still rely on his performance on the battlefield to be appreciated and promoted, and accomplish achievements that others have been unable to achieve for generations.
Now, with the professionalization and specialization of the military, it is becoming more elite.
All mid-level and senior military officers must have highly professional knowledge and skills.
These professional knowledge and skills are not something that ordinary people can learn.
Moreover, nowadays, the Xiongnu, a great enemy, can no longer threaten the Han Dynasty. If they want to fight the Huns, the Han army needs to cross thousands of miles of territory.
This is another sieve, a ceiling.
Since ancient times, people were poor in literature but rich in military affairs. The resources needed to train a scholar are far less than a qualified military officer.
Perhaps in the future, young people at the bottom will have to rely on miracles if they want to break through their own limitations.
And this is what Liu Che doesn't want to see.
Classes cannot be solidified, and the circulation channels up and down must be maintained and smooth.
Therefore, he has ordered Wuyuan to strengthen the training of grassroots officers, especially the corps commanders and chiefs of the field army, and requires that there must be a certain proportion of lower-level officers among Wuyuan students.
In addition, he also issued an edict to all field armies of the Han Dynasty, requiring all field armies to "pay tribute" every year to a group of smart and capable corps commanders and commanders. As representatives, they came to Chang'an and stayed in the Wei Palace.
But just this is not enough.
The Military Court imposes a fixed quota from lower-level officers, which may eventually turn into a feast for nobles and relatives, and become a resource that they control and control.
In the same way, the quota of guards who stay in the imperial court may eventually become a forbidden concubine for high-level military connections and relatives.
Therefore, Liu Che has planned to imitate the imperial examination and hold a martial arts examination every year.
Everyone can sign up to participate, speak based on their ability, and fight for the future based on their strength.
It’s just that military is not like literature.
There is Zhao Kuo in the front and Ma Su in the back.
In addition, it is difficult to distinguish the superior and inferior in the military like examinations.
Apart from anything else, keyboard staff officers can deduce many battles with their eyes closed.
But do you dare to put such a person in the position of commander?
Another one, Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
Ranking first in the examination is a well-deserved achievement. Even if others are dissatisfied, there is probably nothing they can do about it.
But this martial art...
The first place must accept difficulties and accusations from all aspects.
One mistake can cause big news.
The most important thing is that the bureaucrats selected through the examination can be placed and assigned immediately.
Where does the emperor plan to distribute the officers who have been promoted?
Will the army want these people who have not proven themselves?
Will the soldiers be convinced?
These are all questions!
Liu Che would not do it rashly before he figured it out clearly.
But there is one thing that can still be done.
This is to open several more specialized and subdivided military academies to train corresponding professional officers.
Infantry command schools, cavalry command schools and even naval academies can all be opened.
There is no need to worry about not having teachers. Soon, the Han Dynasty will usher in a wave of high-ranking generals.
Those high-ranking military officers and frontier generals who were active during the Taizong period are all about to arrive (doctors will cause trouble when they are seventy).
Of course, these veterans and officials are not willing to just withdraw from the stage and watch the young people show off their power.
Liu Che naturally knew that if he wanted them to step down obediently, put down their power, and return the stage to the young people, he had to give them some sweeteners.
Therefore, these colleges will actually open sooner or later.
