The meeting with Shaofu Ling Cenmai and Neishi Tianshu lasted until nearly noon.
Although the things discussed are trivial, they are a great challenge to people's energy.
Especially since Uncle Tian was almost eighty this year, so after the meeting, he almost reluctantly walked out of the Xuanshi Hall with the help of the eunuch.
Liu Che personally sent the old minister to the door of Xuanshi Hall, and watched him disappear into the distance. Liu Che then lowered his head and muttered: "I have to consider who will be Uncle Tian's successor!"
Not only Liu Che, the emperor, knew about this matter.
All the aristocratic ministers throughout the court knew this very well. Privately, there were countless people who were waiting to take over Uncle Tian's position as internal historian.
Among the nine ministers of the Han Dynasty, the one with the most wealth was the internal history officer.
Apart from other things, as an internal historian, you can get tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars by just lifting your finger.
Therefore, there should not be too many people who are interested in internal history.
However, so far, there is no candidate who suits Liu Che's wishes.
"Since I'm so desperate, I'll transfer Zhang Tang back from Xinfeng to be the Prime Minister of Internal Affairs!" Liu Che thought to himself.
Last time, Zhang Tang, Ji An and Yan Yi fought over the Xinfeng Order, and Zhang Tang won.
After all, Zhang Tang has great advantages in being a people-friendly official.
He is a native of Guanzhong, familiar with the people's customs, and has also worked as a subordinate official. He is also from a grassroots official family, and has a lot of people to give him advice.
Therefore, the copywriting submitted by Zhang Tang is close to reality and is very maneuverable and practical.
In comparison, Yan Yi's memorial overemphasizes the rule of virtue and is simply a gossip article.
Ji An is okay, but a little pedantic.
Therefore, the final winner is Zhang Tang.
According to Liu Che's original plan, Zhang Tang would have to stay there for at least three years before he would be transferred back to his side.
However, if there is really a risk that the Neishi Yamen may be paralyzed, Liu Che will not stick to the rules.
With Zhang Tang's qualifications and official rank, it may be a bit reluctant to be the internal historian now, but there is no pressure to be the internal historian.
In the Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon for deputies such as Cheng and Lieutenant to take advantage of their superiors.
As long as the backing is strong enough, it is not surprising that ministers such as Chang Shi, Sima, and Zhu Bo can evade the dignified county governor!
For example, in history, Xiaozhu once made the ministers, doctors, and ministers of the inner dynasty ignore the entire three ministers and nine ministers. Even the dignified prime minister was actually turned into an eraser!
With Liu Che's current prestige, it is still impossible to do something like Xiaozhu. But he forced the Neishi Yamen to bow his head and obey, without even saying a word. He only needed to give Zhang Tang an edict to 'do things cheaply'
That’s it.
Of course. If you do this, it will break the rules of the game. Unless it is a last resort, there is really no way to move. Liu Che will not do this.
Now, judging from Uncle Tian's health condition, he should be able to survive another two or three years.
Therefore, Liu Che exposed this.
"Your Majesty!" A servant came over and reminded Liu Che: "Yi Duwei and Ju Duwei are here!"
Liu Che came back to his senses and ordered: "Let them go to Qingliang Hall and wait! In addition, please pass on the order. There is no need to record the conversation between me and the two captains this time!"
After saying this, Liu Che walked back to Xuanshi Hall.
In the palace, Cen Mai, the young master's order, still maintained the same appearance as before when he gave the speech, respectfully waiting for Liu Che's arrival.
"Mr. Cen..." Liu Che sat back on the dragon throne and asked: "Master Cen, please give me a brief report on the expenditures of the young master in the past six months!"
"No!" Cen Mai bowed respectfully. He had already prepared for this matter.
The Shaofu controlled more than half of the Han Dynasty's fiscal revenue, as well as almost all large-scale engineering and ordnance manufacturing projects. The daily expenses of the two palaces were all owed to the Shaofu's accounts.
If the emperor doesn't care about this, it only means that the emperor is an irresponsible ruler.
However, Cen Mai knew in his heart that the young manor had too many bad debts and too many shady expenses.
Therefore, he also knows what can and cannot be discussed.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Cen Maihui reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty, since Your Majesty came here, I and my colleagues in the Shaofu have been ordered to work together sincerely to dig the 'Longshou Canal'. This project has cost the Shaofu so far..."
"The Chang'an-Xiaoguan track carriage project has been funded by the Shaofu..."
"Your Majesty rewards the orphans and widows in the world, as well as the ministers, nobles and princes. The Young Mansion has received the imperial edict and has paid out..."
Liu Che closed his eyes and listened to the huge expenditure figures reported by Cen Mai. Of course he knew in his heart that there must be some moisture in these figures.
However, the Shaofu has been suffering from long-term deficiencies. It is not possible to freeze three feet in a day, and the joints are intertwined. Liu Che is currently unable to do anything about it.
I can only comfort myself with the excuse that "if the water is pure, there will be no fish, and if a man is holy, there will be no disciples".
Liu Che knew that if he wanted to take the hand of the young master and cut off the evil hands reaching out to the young master, he would at least have to wait until the death of the Empress Dowager of the East Palace.
Before that, Shaofu was like a hedgehog. He would pierce flesh and blood whenever he moved. Although his life was not in danger, it would still cause pain for several days and even cost him an arm.
After listening to Cen Mai's report, Liu Che made a rough estimate in his mind. Within half a year of taking the throne, he had spent about 100,000 yuan of the young man's savings.
In the history of the Han Dynasty, he can be regarded as the fastest spending emperor in history!
At the current speed, Liu Che has succeeded in making the young man spend money faster than he can make money.
However, this hundred thousand dollars is well spent!
Not to mention other projects, including the Longshou Canal and the Rail Carriage Project, not a single farmer was requisitioned, and all of them were subcontracted and hired workers.
Of course, there must be collusion between officials and businessmen, false reporting of expenses, and manipulation. It's just greedy and greedy.
But, at the very least, these two projects are there.
In particular, Longshou Canal has now begun to irrigate farmland near Linjin.
This alone can benefit nearly 10,000 farmers and nearly 100,000 people.
After the completion of the second phase of the Longshou Canal project, it will extend to Linjiang and surrounding towns, irrigating nearly one million acres of farmland and benefiting 50,000 households.
After the completion of the rail carriage project, not only the national defense of the Han Dynasty was greatly consolidated, but also business and logistics circulation could be promoted.
As for other Shaofu projects, such as hydraulic forging technology and waterwheel technology, it is a good thing that will benefit future generations.
Therefore, the money is well spent!
At least it’s more cost-effective than building Zhang Palace, Mingguang Palace, or seeking immortality, refining elixirs, and refining gold!
While Cen Mai in the audience reported these expenditures, he secretly admired and respected the emperor's selfless governance attitude in his heart.
In the history of the Han Dynasty, there had never been such a king.
Like all previous emperors, he was quite frugal in his daily life. In the six months since he took the throne, he had hardly moved a single tile in the Weiyang Palace. All palaces, gardens and playgrounds were repaired if they could be repaired. Only when they couldn't be repaired would they be considered.
Funding for renovations.
However, he is very generous when it comes to people's livelihood projects and various water conservancy construction projects.
Not a single copper coin was spent on the Longshou Canal, the track carriage project, and the Baoxie Road project that had already begun. All of them were paid for by the emperor himself.
It is precisely because of this that public opinion from both the government and the public praises the emperor, right?
Cen Mai has heard about it. Now some people regard him as the Emperor as another wise emperor of the Han Dynasty after Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.
Some people have even shouted the slogan, "The prosperity of the Han family is just around the corner."
Thinking like this, Cen Mai lowered his head. He looked at his body that was no longer young and felt quite sad.
For Cen Mai, the saddest thing is that while the Holy King is still in the court, he is already old.
"I hope that in my lifetime, I can see your virtues admired all over the world, your phoenixes coming to greet you, and your pictures coming out of Heluo!" Cen Mai thought in his heart.
For a traditional scholar-official like him, an emperor like Liu Che was indeed a lord worthy of loyalty and death.
Liu Che didn't know what Cen Mai was thinking. After listening to Cen Mai's report, he tapped his fingers, stood up, and said: "Mr. Cen, I have been on the throne for half a year. According to the system, I will raise the mausoleum. Please come back when Gong Cen returns."
, summon the officials of the Shaofu to survey the landforms around Chang'an, and select several alternative areas that are beneficial to the descendants of the community, and I will visit them personally!"
The mausoleum system was the foundation for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
Without the mausoleum system that forced local powerful and wealthy businessmen to relocate year after year, it would be difficult for the current Han Dynasty to be as stable as it is today.
Therefore, even in the hands of the idiot Xiaozhu who longed for immortality in later generations, the Han Dynasty did not relax the mausoleum system.
Even throughout Xiaozhu's life, the scale of Maoling continued to expand.
Liu Che has been on the throne for half a year, so naturally he has to start choosing his resting place after death.
This is something that every Han emperor must do when he is in power.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty also never hesitated to talk about death.
For example, the posthumous edict of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen begins with: I have heard about the birth of all things in the world, the existence of immortality, the principles of heaven and earth for the dead, and the nature of things. How can I be sad to ridicule?
With such ideological consciousness, not to mention the emperor of this feudal dynasty, I am afraid that the 'proletarian revolutionaries' of the later dynasties will be nothing more than this.
Although Liu Che does not have such a calm ideological consciousness, as a time traveler, he knows that even the sun will burn out one day, let alone people.
As an emperor, it is enough for him to live a wonderful and fulfilling life.
Only a mentally retarded person would think about pursuing immortality...
This is not a fairy world!
Hearing this, Cen Mai bowed his head and said, "Promise! I will obey your Majesty's rules!"
Choosing a mausoleum place for the emperor is one of the most important tasks of the Shaofu.
After sending Cen Mai away, Liu Che immediately drove to Qingliang Hall.
At this time, in accordance with Liu Che's order, there were no outsiders in the Qingliang Palace except his close confidants.
Yi Zong and Ju Meng came forward to greet him: "Your Majesty!"
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "No need to be formal!"
He sat on the royal couch in Qingliang Hall with his horse and golden sword, and ordered to the left and right: "Give us a seat for the two captains!"
When Yi Zong and Ju Meng sat down, Liu Che asked: "How did you two dears do what I ordered you to do a few months ago?"
Yi Zong and Ju Meng immediately came out to pay their respects and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty... I have not dared to relax for a day since I was issued the imperial edict, and now I have achieved preliminary results!"
"Have all the soldiers learned the numbers and drill patterns I ordered to teach the Yulin and Huben guards?" Liu Che asked.
"Your Majesty, I have basically mastered it!" Yi Zong replied.
Ju Meng also bowed and said: "The same is true for me!"
"Good!" Liu Che clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this.
Compared with the examination, Yu Lin and Hu Ben were his real experimental fields.
For Liu Che, the bureaucrats selected through the examination are still the old-style bureaucrats. Although on the surface they have the halo of recruiting talents in an eclectic way, in essence, the selected officials’ methods of doing things, their thinking patterns and the way they think about problems
, it’s still the same old thing from the past.
It is possible to rely on these bureaucrats to strengthen centralization and strengthen local control.
But it would be a dream to expect them to make any earth-shaking changes and bring pinnacle creation to this pre-Christian world!
If you want to launch the Industrial Revolution, a new ideological faction and political force that can understand the Industrial Revolution must emerge.
Liu Che chose to place this incubator of new ideological factions and political forces in the newly established two bodyguards of Yu Lin and Hu Ben.
This is because the members of the Habayashi Guard and the Tiger Guard are all from reliable middle-class families or above. Even if some are not, their rich experience and experience can more than make up for their origins.
In other words, these two guards have the highest level of education and the highest literacy rate among the Han army.
Habayashi Wei even managed to make all members literate! There was no illiteracy!
This is really amazing!
As for the officers of Yu Lin and Hu Ben Guards, even if they are corps commanders, they have above-average cultural qualities.
It may not be possible to talk about poetry with others, but my reading and writing skills are at least passable.
More importantly, the average age of the Habayashi Guards is twenty-one years old, and that of the Hu Ben Guards is twenty-three years old.
Young people's acceptance of new knowledge and new ideas is undoubtedly higher than other age groups!
Therefore, the Yulin Guards and the Hu Ben Guards were not only the direct lineage used by Liu Che to experiment with new weapons, but also the experimental fields for him to transform the Han Dynasty army.
These two groups of emperor's personal guards, which together numbered no more than 3,000 men, carried Liu Che's mission of modernizing and reforming the Han army.
At the same time, these people are Liu Che's balancer to balance the civil service system, so as to prevent those guys from having a nervous attack and destroying their martial arts skills.
As the sages said: If a country is big, it will perish if it likes war, and it will be in danger if it forgets to fight!
Of course, like everything, Liu Che never expected to get it right in one step and make the people of the pre-Yuan Dynasty understand the thoughts of later generations in one fell swoop.
Therefore, at the beginning, Liu Che adopted a strategy of slowly infiltrating and subtly changing the minds of the soldiers, or brainwashing.
After the Yulin Guards and the Huben Guards went on the right track, Liu Che, in addition to letting Yi Zong and Ju Mengjiang firmly control the two armies, only gave them one task-to transfer the Arabic numerals from later generations and the numbers from high school military training.
The method is taught to all soldiers.
These ten Arabic numerals 1234567890 can be said to be numbers that changed the history of later generations.
Without these Arabic numerals, it is difficult to imagine how the development of mathematics in later generations would have gone astray.
At least, Liu Che was very uncomfortable with the mathematical calculation methods pioneered by the Han Dynasty.
With these Arabic numerals, many mathematical knowledge that can only be mastered by nobles or children of official families through diligent study and practice can be quickly popularized.
Whether it is Arabic numerals or the left-right and left-right method of reporting numbers in formation during military training, it is not too difficult. Even a pig can learn it in a month!
Of course, what is more important to Liu Che is that the special nature of the army, especially his personal guards, can eliminate all interference from the outside world.
It was hard for him to imagine that he would take out the Arabic numerals and teach them how to use them.
Even if Liu Che finally succeeds in using coercive means to promote it, it will probably take at least several years!
Moreover, the resistance encountered will be beyond imagination.
The aristocracy and bureaucracy will definitely get in the way!
Just like the church in Europe in the Middle Ages prevented the spread of printing technology.
The aristocracy and bureaucratic class will never tolerate the popularization of a mathematical method that can be mastered by low-level people and poor people.
It can only be placed in the army and popularized through the army.
Moreover, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. In the army, no matter how unreasonable or doubtful something is, as long as the superior strongly promotes it, under military law, no one dares to complain.
Now it seems that Liu Che made the right move.
Liu Che took out a small booklet bound with white paper from his body and asked people to show it to Yi Zong and Ju Meng. He then ordered: "Next, the two beloved ministers will follow the instructions in this booklet to treat Yu Lin and Ju Meng."
Let’s reorganize the Tiger and Ben guards!”
Yi Zong and Ju Meng took the booklet and flipped through it roughly.
The two of them suddenly felt huge waves in their hearts.
"Your Majesty is going to reform the military system!" Yi Zong and Ju Meng thought in unison.
Liu Che looked at the two men and said to himself: "Our Han family's military system inherited the military system of the Qin Dynasty and was organized in the Shiwu system. However, times have changed, and with the popularization of cavalry and the update of new weapons,
I think it’s time to reform Qin’s army organization method!”
"After the two beloved ministers return, they will regroup the Yulin and Huben guards according to the grouping method in the book. Do you understand?" Liu Che said without doubt.
The Qin Dynasty's army organization method has been passed down to this day, but facts have proved that it has gradually become outdated.
The new military development trend and changes in combat methods have made the Shiwu system no longer able to maximize the combat effectiveness of the army as it did in the Qin Dynasty.
This is just like in later generations, when machine guns appeared, people who lined up to shoot were immediately eliminated.
Now, the number of chariots in the Han Dynasty's army has been very small.
The cavalry replaced the chariot and became the new king of war.
Moreover, the ironization of military weapons will inevitably bring about changes in the way of combat.
Then the corresponding army formation must also be explored and discussed again.
The pamphlet that Liu Che is now distributing has not made much changes in its organization, but has made some adjustments to the army structure according to the army organization of Huo Qubing in his previous life.
The biggest change is the clarification of the organization and responsibilities of the combat staff.
In this booklet, Liu Che ordered that officers with outstanding military qualities be selected from the Yulin and Huben guards to form a staff group of six to ten people. The main responsibility of the staff group is to formulate combat plans for the commander-in-chief.
, clarify strategic goals and tactical goals, and assign tactical tasks to subordinate officers.
Another important task in the booklet is that Liu Che ordered that all officers above the rank of corps commander in the Yulin Guard and the Huben Guard must begin to study "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Sima Xiangqe's Art of War", "Six Tao", etc.
Military Book.
Liu Che's purpose was very simple, that is, with the backbone of Yulin and Huben guards, he would reform and reorganize the entire Han army in the future so that the Han army could keep up with the development trend of the times.
As for the reform and new organizational direction of the army, Liu Che could only explore and explore step by step.
After all, he is not a retired special forces soldier - even modern military knowledge will not have much effect on the cold weapon army before the Christian era.
After all, in the cold weapon era, the army relied on cutting.
The modern army fights with machine guns, cannons and aircraft.
