Liu Che has been planning to reform the election of grassroots pavilion chiefs for a long time. .
Naturally, he had already made sufficient preparations!
Not only did they send a large number of embroidered guards and officials to go to the grassroots level in Guanzhong Pavilion to communicate with the local gentry and people and ask for their opinions.
They even asked the Mohists to quietly conduct pilot projects in certain villages in Qishan Yuan.
The result is naturally very good!
Not only did it solve many local problems, it also liberated the enthusiasm of the local gentry and people, and everyone was happy and excited.
Although this is only based on the efficiency and integrity of the Mohist school, it also shows that in pre-Yuan China, both the common people and the landlords and gentry demanded autonomy in village affairs, proving the reliability of village autonomy - at least some
A model of success!
Liu Che walked slowly, walked to Yang Kai, and said: "I know what you are worried about!"
He then looked at the generals and princes, the most powerful interest group in the Han Empire, the engine of the war machine he had created, and said softly, "I also know your concerns!"
He finally looked at Ru, Huang Lao's doctor and nobleman, and said: "I understand what you are thinking!"
Following his words, the Legalist doctors and generals and princes all bowed their heads deeply to show their respect and obedience!
Liu Che's credibility is now very strong!
Since he came to the throne, he has almost never broken his promise!
If you say you will never add gifts, you really won’t add gifts!
If you can't talk about the land tax, you can't do it. The land tax in the Han Dynasty is still the thirty-one tax of the late emperor's period, which is completely different from the statutory fifteen-year tax.
The state's revenue gradually shifted from land taxes and taxes to salt and iron coinage, commercial taxes, mining taxes, and vehicle and ship taxes.
At the very least, the income from salt and iron has gradually caught up with the previous land tax income.
The ministers were all shocked and the ministers were dumbfounded. For the first time, people discovered that the country is really powerful in doing business!
Not only that, but what’s even more convincing is Liu Che’s ruthlessness!
If I say I’ll kill your whole family, I’ll definitely kill your whole family!
He not only kills ministers, but also kills relatives and relatives who break the law!
Since Yuan De, the princes and kings of the Liu family alone have killed one prisoner out of five and exiled his fellow criminals to a desert island overseas.
Su's relatives are fighting together.
Even Bo Dou's relatives had many people killed and imprisoned.
There were two groups of people standing inside and outside the court, and hundreds of nobles, nobles, relatives, and royal families dyed Liu Che's crown red with their own blood.
Prestige and authority arise from this.
At this moment, I was listening to Liu Che's words and thinking about his past.
Even if they had doubts, the generals, princes, and legalists would all stop and listen.
This is undoubtedly excellent.
Because the scariest thing in politics is never when others oppose you.
It's that others don't want to listen to you at all, let alone think calmly and calmly whether what you say makes sense.
They will cover their ears and hypnotize themselves that everything you say is wrong and undesirable.
This is the scariest thing.
Compared with this, the so-called opponents are extremely precious and valuable.
In fact, as long as any ruler can make those who oppose him (both inside and outside the government) willing to listen to him quietly and calmly, then his ruling career will be successful!
At this moment, as soon as the attitudes of the Legalist doctors and the generals and princes appeared, the bureaucrats immediately became as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Many people even wanted to make a fuss in the Xuanshi Palace.
However, Huang Lao Sect and Confucianism suddenly felt that something was not good.
Every time the current emperor tries to reason with others, the person who benefits must be the other party!
However... this matter is still just a guess. Even if it is true, everyone is already riding a tiger.
Especially for the Huang-Lao sect, it is difficult to recover from overthrow, and there is no room for regret or change.
Even Confucians can only lament that they are helpless and can only watch helplessly.
Just listen to Liu Che say: "Your concern is that the local gentry may become powerful, break the national law, disrupt the national outline, shake the country, and overthrow the system!"
Yang Kai immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo!"
Liu Che chuckled. He had already considered this kind of thing and had taken precautions.
In any case, he will not allow such a thing to happen and repeat the same mistake.
but…
Liu Che smiled slightly and said: "You think that without this system, the local gentry will not become powerful, and will not use other methods to shake the national law, overthrow the country, and change the national outline?"
The powerful landlords and nobles of the Han family are planning and scheming to change the current national policies and systems all the time.
Confucianism was supported by them!
Through decades of hard work in history, these people boiled frogs in warm water bit by bit, and finally achieved their goals at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, abolishing almost all systems and laws that restricted and imprisoned them.
They can finally do whatever they want and do whatever they want.
In Liu Che's view, if he is not guided and directed, no matter how good he is, these scum will be waiting for opportunities after his death, and even subvert all his efforts.
This has happened countless times in Chinese history.
Not surprising at all.
Apart from anything else, the Qin Empire is a very good example.
As soon as Qin Shihuang died, Qin II destroyed everything the Qin Empire relied on to become powerful and rule the world.
As a result, Qin II died.
The bloody lesson is right in front of you!
The Qin system under the Qin system is much stricter than the Han system under the Han system.
And will powerful local landlords give up their ideas and demands?
impossible!
Therefore, Liu Che can only choose to draw these scum into the system before they become the mortal enemies of the current system and become the beneficiaries of the current system.
Then they can no longer oppose this system that benefits them, right?
Yang Kai was a little confused, and he bowed: "Your Majesty, the Han family has its own system. Local powerful people have laws to govern them. If laws cannot govern them, there is still the system of mausoleums!"
For decades, under the joint efforts of the Huang-Lao School and the Legalists, the Han Dynasty harvested batches of powerful men like leeks.
Countless local powerful bullies and ranger giants were relocated to Guanzhong.
They were forced to leave their base areas, lost their connections, power and wealth, and gradually became passers-by.
Relying on the law and the tomb system, the Han government has controlled almost everything so far.
Liu Che sighed when he heard this. How could things be so simple?
He used to be arrogant and believed that the problem of local powerful people could be suppressed and controlled through the Lingyi system.
But as his reign grew longer, his views on the issue gradually changed.
He discovered a terrible fact - the power of the powerful landlords of the Han family has been growing in the past few decades, even if the country continues to harvest leeks. However, just like leeks, every time the powerful landlords are harvested, they become smarter and more cunning.
Just like creatures in nature, they continue to grow in their confrontation with the country, and become more and more clever and cunning.
More and more fish are caught in the trap.
When Liu Che knew this fact, he understood that he had to make changes.
Otherwise, the powerful landlords will soon evolve the ability to cope with and deal with the Han Dynasty.
