After inspecting the imperial village, Liu Che went to inspect nearby farms as usual. +
This was also his daily life in Shanglinyuan after he came to the throne. Every time he came to Shanglinyuan, whether it was for hunting or inspection, he would inevitably go deep into a place where people lived to inspect and ask the local elders.
As for the ordinary people at the bottom?
Excuse me!
As a feudal dynasty, the emperor could understand the situation at the grassroots level through the imperial censor and officials.
Even if the emperor is really worried about the grassroots, he can send a large number of close servants to go to the grassroots in the name of collecting style and poetry to understand the situation among the people.
However, as an unspoken rule of the political game, the emperor generally cannot and will not talk directly to the people at the lowest level!
Superiority and inferiority, social hierarchy, are not so easy to cross.
In the fifty or sixty years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has only been one precedent for the emperor to directly talk to the people from the grassroots level.
This story is the famous "Tiying saves her father".
Other than that, not once.
Liu Che's car drove over a bridge and arrived at an open plain area.
At this time, the autumn harvest has long passed, and taxes have been paid. Two months ago, the fields were a sea of green. Now it is a barren scene. There is not even a withered grass on both sides of the road and between the field ridges.
While sitting in the cart, Liu Che heard shouts and chants.
He opened the curtain and looked into the distance.
In a field about three to four hundred meters away, dozens of strong men, under the command of two soldiers in armor, were practicing military formations, practicing swords, guns, swords, halberds, and even bow and crossbow shooting.
Seeing this scene, Liu Che signaled the car to stop.
Then he got off the carriage and watched the drill on the other side with great interest across the field.
Throughout the early period of the Han Dynasty, the idea of "no soldiers can be recruited without education" was very strong in army construction. Almost every Han soldier had actually received three years or more of military skills training before joining the army.
Generally speaking, the prefectural and county pavilions in the Han Dynasty would organize the Shifu people to conduct the most basic military skills training at regular intervals, teaching men to master various basic military knowledge and skills.
More importantly, at the grassroots level of the Han Dynasty regime, which was founded on militarism, there was no shortage of instructors to train the common people.
The standing army of the Han Dynasty usually served for two years.
One year of guarding the border or serving as a county soldier in a county, and one year of guarding in Chang'an.
Two years of military service. In the Han Dynasty, except for the royal family, princes, princes and younger brothers, almost no one could escape.
Even relatives need to symbolically enlist in the army.
This system created the strength of the Han Dynasty's military force, and also created a large number of strongmen who mastered killing techniques and were proficient in using various weapons among the grassroots civilians.
As a result, the group of Rangers came into being and became a huge headache for the grassroots government.
What's even more troublesome for the bureaucrats is that the peasants own weapons and master military skills. They have a certain ability to resist, which makes them have to be careful when extorting money and committing evil acts.
If something is done too harshly and too darkly, the ordinary people will become distraught and break into the official's house in the middle of the night and kill his whole family, which will only result in the loss of their heads.
This can be regarded as the powerless Guizhou class. In this era, there are few ways to intimidate and intimidate the landlords and bureaucrats.
Liu Che appreciated this very much.
Although the proliferation of civilian weapons has, to a certain extent, led to the threat of various vendettas and armed fights.
It's just like everyone in the Midi Empire in the later generations is armed with a gun. If you encounter a lunatic and a brainless person, and you are unhappy, you will use weapons to make others unhappy.
But there is no comparison between the Han Dynasty and the Mi Dynasty.
Today's world is a world where the strong eat the weak.
The common people holding weapons and mastering self-defense skills not only make bureaucrats and landlords afraid, but also make invaders afraid.
Like the Song and Ming Dynasties, a population of hundreds of millions was conquered and destroyed by barbarians of only a few million. This was simply unimaginable to the Han Dynasty!
Even in the later Eastern Han Dynasty, the military force of a single governor could destroy the country in an expedition.
Even during the Three Kingdoms period, a separatist warlord could defeat Wu Heng and Xianbei.
For hundreds of years after the end of the Han Dynasty, external threats could never threaten the core of China itself.
Even the Xiongnu Empire, which was at its peak at that time, never threatened the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che knew very well that if he wanted to survive in this jungle world where dangers abound and big fish eat small fish, the Han nation must continue to implement the current national defense policy.
In comparison, the side effects are almost zero.
Of course, the situation of the Han Dynasty was the same as that of the Mi Emperor.
The common people hold weapons, but the weapons held by the government are completely superior to them in terms of quality and quantity.
Moreover, the powerful landlords and merchants also kept thugs and thugs.
For example, Liu Che heard that Dao Jian, a big loan shark in Qi State, had a thousand thugs and thousands of servants under him.
Based on this, Daojian even ignored the government, bullied the market, bought and sold by force, and would fight whenever they disagreed, often taking people's lives.
But the government was helpless. Even if they wanted to take care of it, Dao Jian casually threw out a scapegoat, leaving the government speechless.
However, this man's good days are coming to an end soon, and Liu Che has already put the name Daojian on the list of the first batch of immigrants for his Lingyi project.
This made Liu Che feel a little emotional.
Later generations of rice emperors also produced similar underworld giants that the government could not control and the law could not control.
It’s just that the one from Midea was finally dealt with by the IRS.
As for the Han Dynasty, if local officials and laws could not do anything about it, the emperor would move it to Guanzhong, cut off its roots, and slowly take care of it.
Today's Tojian, the Zhu family in the past, and Guo Xie in the future were almost all solved by the Han Dynasty in this way.
After watching the militiamen's drill for a while, Liu Che suddenly had the urge to try and see how many reserves and county soldiers the Han Dynasty could mobilize in Guanzhong, and how effective this force would be in an emergency.
The best way to prove this is to issue an amnesty order, mobilize all the armed forces of the General Customs, and hold a large-scale military parade.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Che put out this idea.
It's not that you can't do this.
Rather, the time is not yet ripe.
The relevant laws and systems are not sound and rash actions will only lead to jokes or even making a fool of yourself.
Today, communication is no different than in later generations. Administrative orders can flow from top to bottom and reach every administrative unit instantly.
Moreover, hastily organizing and mobilizing reserves will confuse the people and even cause trouble.
However, Liu Che then thought about it, the reserve troops could not be mobilized, but the county soldiers could always be mobilized?
It is winter now, the season for the traditional emperor’s military parade.
Liu Che thought for a while and said to the king: "Go and tell the Prime Minister that after the court meeting tomorrow, I will go to the Temple of the Five Emperors to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. I have ordered all counties in Guanzhong to set up beacons and battalions, with captains and above to lead half of their troops. , when we reach the Wei River, I will personally come to review, beat the drums and beat the generals to observe the power of the troops!"
The Han Dynasty stationed nearly 100,000 standing county soldiers in Guanzhong, half of which was 50,000.
Temporarily mobilize these 50,000 people, review it, and hammer it at the same time. It should probably be correct.
What Liu Che wants to see even more is to take this opportunity to promote a few young people, clean up a group of unqualified officers, and further strengthen his control over the army. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better updates of the novel. Faster!
