The fifth hundred and eighth chapter monsters come out of the cage
Liu Wu left with some reluctance and nostalgia.±,
But Liu Che did not treat him badly. As soon as Liu Wu left Hangu Pass, Zongzheng officials came to announce the decree.
In the name of being a blood relative of the King of Liang and having made great contributions to the country and supporting the young master, he was given the banner of the emperor and a yellow house.
This free honor moved Liu Wu very much, and Donggong was even more satisfied.
Dong Gong was happy, and many things became negotiable immediately.
Many things that had been stuck in the East Palace suddenly became smoother.
Liu Che then struck while the iron was hot and launched a long-planned policy.
On December 13th of the second year of Yuande, Liu Che, after asking for instructions from the East Palace, issued an edict to the world: Gai heard that the ancient sage kings governed the world with different methods in the three generations, and the five emperors did not follow each other's rituals, so they established a single virtue through different paths.
Therefore, Zhongni treats Ding Gong as a distant man, Ai Gong as a critic of ministers, and Jing Gong as a frugal ruler. However, due to different periods of time, there are also urgent matters. Sima Fa said: If you forget to fight, you will be in danger, and if you are fond of war, you will perish. Although China is safe today
The four barbarians have not yet surrendered. Before them, there was the Wei Dynasty, which was wild and arrogant and was good at killing Han subjects. Then there were the Xiongnu. The Great Wall of Chenge and the Hetao area fell into the hands of the Xiongnu. It has been more than seventy years now. All loyal ministers and filial sons are heartbroken.
!
The poem goes: The brave warriors are the stronghold of the country!
Nowadays, the warriors defend the country, protect the country, and kill the enemy bravely, but many of them are disabled and disabled. However, the pension they receive cannot support their parents, nor can they raise their wives and children. I am very sorry for this.
The poem goes as follows: Worrying about misfortune, thinking about the country's misfortune.
He sent people to pay homage to his ministers, embroidered clothes, and patrolled the country to ask about the soldiers who were injured or killed in battle because of the king's affairs. They said: The emperor's envoys and others visited the loyal ministers and filial sons, and gave them silk, cloth, money, and rice. The injured were injured, three stones per month, rice, and so on.
Those who are disabled will be given twice as much, and those who are dead will be given two pieces of cloth and five hundred in money. If there is injustice and neglect of duty, the envoy will hear about it and the county and township supervisors will make sure nothing is left behind.
He is also the chief of the pavilion, and he lives in the countryside, guiding the people to follow the etiquette and enjoying the music. Now that the etiquette and music have collapsed, I am very Min Yan! And the retired generals and disabled people have been in the army for a long time, so I order the commandery and the country:
From now on, all pavilion chiefs will be chosen to be the most upright. First, they will be those who are disabled due to royal affairs, and then those who have retired, in order to praise the loyal ministers.
This edict was issued in the twelfth month of the winter of the second year of Yuande.
The meaning of this edict is simple and easy to understand. After it was issued, the government and the public cheered.
Although some people worriedly pointed out that from now on, the country will probably be ruled by warriors and the civility will be wiped out.
But no one criticized him.
Because the current Han Dynasty is essentially a semi-militarist and semi-feudal regime.
From top to bottom, basically everyone in power has military experience, even relatives and nobles are no exception.
In later generations, the civil servant group was so huge that even the imperial power bowed its head. At the moment, it is just a small group attached to the interest groups of the princes' relatives.
Basically no one cares about their voices.
Moreover, the current situation is that after the Wu-Chu Rebellion, the military general group became prosperous again.
In the imperial court, 70% of the three princes and nine ministers have a military background or have someone in their family who is a military commander.
The remaining few, such as Yuan Ang and Chao Cuo, are mainly allies of military generals.
only……
After the edict was issued, Liu Che himself was a little frightened. He sighed to Ji An, the minister who recorded the edict: "I'm afraid I'm about to release a terrible monster. Please help me keep an eye on it and fill in the gaps. Don't make a big mistake."
!”
Since the first year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's reign, the Han Dynasty has been committed to moving towards a civilian government.
In particular, a series of policies represented by Chao Cuo's policy of losing millet and donating titles were aimed at weakening and lowering the strength and status of the warriors.
But Liu Che's edict kicked the Han Dynasty, which had already begun to advance towards the civilian government, back into the embrace of militarism.
Moreover, Liu Che did an even better job than the Qin Dynasty.
The pavilion is long and upright, although it looks inconspicuous.
However, anyone with a little knowledge knows that the length of the pavilion and the uprightness of the pavilion in this place are equivalent to a golden rice bowl that guarantees harvest despite drought and flood.
As long as a little care is taken, a family will definitely be able to live a well-off life from now on, and those with more powerful methods may even be local emperors.
In the past, these positions were privately awarded by county governors, county magistrates and other officials at all levels.
Basically, they are all done by their respective close confidants or even their lackeys.
It is also one of the carrots that officials at all levels throw out to motivate their subordinates.
After Liu Che's edict, positions such as pavilion chief and Li Zheng were about to be taken over by the Wufu Group.
Among the princes, generals and even captains and lieutenants, who doesn’t have a soldier or a brother who has died?
On the battlefield, there are no weapons or weapons, and it is difficult to protect yourself from injuries or even death.
In the past, for disabled soldiers and comrades killed in battle, the most we could do was to provide them with pension benefits. For those who were close, the most they could do was look after their descendants and support them.
Like Zhou Yafu, most of his salary and fiefdom money were used to support the orphans of the fallen soldiers and the disabled.
But now, with this edict, Zhou Yafu may not be able to bear it anymore and will seek benefits for his subordinates openly and honestly.
Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish.
As the local pavilion chiefs became more upright, they gradually became dominated by disabled, retired soldiers and generals.
The entire Han Dynasty will become a war machine more terrifying than the Qin Dynasty.
Liu Che has an extremely clear and clear understanding of this.
But there is nothing he can do!
Since ancient times in China, imperial power has not been sent to the countryside.
There is only one freak like the Qin Dynasty.
Even for the Han Dynasty, the grassroots government officials only reached the township level.
If we continue, we will have to rely on the cooperation of the three elders and local gentry.
Even the Celestial Dynasty two thousand years later had to mention the term "village sage" again after the dynasty ruled for sixty years.
What is the so-called rural sage?
It will be familiar to anyone who knows something about history.
These people are the devils who eat but don't spit out their bones.
The so-called founder of the dynasty periodic law is half God and half these people.
Liu Che didn't want the country he ruled to become a paradise for "village sages", so he had no choice but to unleash the monster of militarism.
At least, Liu Che felt that militarism was much better than landlords and squires leading beasts and cannibalism!
On the other hand, it is right to use retired and disabled soldiers as the most basic local managers, apart from other things, at least in terms of advocating martial arts.
What's more, after being tempered by the military, the disabled veterans' vision and knowledge will definitely be better than those of the rich people who live in the countryside.
Regardless of whether their conscience is better than that of the landowners and gentry.
But at least, there are two levels of existence, those who are knowledgeable and those who are ignorant.
Moreover, after three to five years, Liu Che's layout is completed, and the local grassroots pavilion chiefs and Li Zheng are replaced by retired disabled soldiers. At that time, the mobilization law can be promulgated and the real people will be soldiers!
Despite having so many plans and plans, Liu Che still felt uneasy.
If the military force is too strong, all emperors will instinctively feel uneasy.
But when he thought about it, Liu Che burst into laughter: "Compared to the military generals group, the civil service group is the real monster. I immediately released the civil service group through the examination. If I don't release the military generals to check and balance, won't the future Han Dynasty be destroyed?"
Became a soft-footed shrimp?"
Thinking this way, Liu Che felt much better. (To be continued...)
