When the edict was issued, the whole country was in an uproar.
Qilu howled.
But then, cheers broke out.
Compared to the four to five hundred families who were condemned to death, imprisoned, and exiled by the imperial court.
The entire Qilu area covers 2,000 miles of rivers and mountains, with more than 1.2 million households.
There is no doubt which one has more, 1.2 million or 4 to 500.
Moreover, the propaganda machine of the Han family was fully activated, spreading and publicizing the "great news" that the emperor was about to grant land to everyone.
Qilu area has developed transportation and dense water network.
The message delivery speed is as fast as in Guanzhong.
Often, within four or five days, everything that happened in Linzi City would be known to everyone.
Naturally, the common people and other scholar-officials immediately abandoned their fellow villagers and classmates.
Rather than actually buying the land that is about to fall into your hands, your fellow countrymen and classmates should sell it anyway!
What's more, we don't know each other very well.
Liu Che no longer paid attention to this matter.
He began to think about how to reform Qilu.
Bringing mountains and seas together, traveling thousands of miles, Lu Bin and Zhu Si.
This area has been one of the economic hot spots and centers in the world since the Spring and Autumn Period.
It is also a huge source of soldiers.
More importantly, the local area has extremely developed handicrafts, industry and commerce that are not inferior to Guanzhong and Luoyang.
Don't look at the scholar-bureaucrats in Qilu who are shouting every day: "Go to the countryside and eliminate the bad, use miraculous skills and ingenuity."
But in fact, they like and are better at using industry and commerce to make profits for themselves than anyone else.
After all, slogans or whatever, just shout and deceive people.
If you have deceived and brainwashed yourself, wouldn’t you be an idiot?
And the people of Qilu are never stupid.
Since ancient times, outstanding people, heroes and people with lofty ideals have emerged in endlessly.
It's just that their thoughts and talents are now wrong.
Once they return to the right path, the power they can unleash will definitely exceed the imagination of everyone in the world.
How should we guide them?
The only solution Liu Che can think of now is to immigrate.
Military immigration!
So, he immediately issued an edict to General Louchuan: Under the generals of Louchuan stationed in Qi, anyone who wants to settle in Qi is allowed to be granted land!
In Liu Che's view, the reason why the landowners and scholar-bureaucrats in Qi were cruel on the outside was cruel on the inside.
I prefer fighting inside my home to fighting outside.
The main reason is that due to historical reasons, the scholar-officials and landlords and nobles in Qilu looked down upon and looked down upon the scholar-officials and landlords in other places.
I always feel that the people of the world have failed them (the impact of the deaths of Xiang Yu and Tian Heng).
Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats and nobles in the Qilu area basically only stayed in the local area, and few of them could go out of Qi to visit other places.
And Confucianism had an absolute advantage locally.
After Confucianism gained the upper hand, it would naturally exclude and expel other schools of thought.
In the Qilu area now, even the Legalists find it difficult to survive, and the Huang-Lao sect is also dying.
Not to mention the Mohist family, the strategist family and the peasant family.
In other words, Feng Shui masters and magicians can enjoy local food.
The young scholar-bureaucrats and nobles of Qilu who grew up in such an environment will inevitably encounter various problems.
To put it simply, they are too biased.
This is not good!
Transferring the household registrations of thousands of officers and soldiers from General Lou Chuan's three bases in Qidi to Qidi is equivalent to Liu Che letting a lot of sand into Qidi.
At least, these thousands of officers and soldiers with an adventurous spirit and a clear understanding of the world can correct the three views of their neighbors, and maybe even influence many people to change their three views.
Of course, this is not enough!
The scholar-bureaucrats and nobles of Qilu needed greater stimulation.
From the most intuitive visual, tactile and perceptual stimulation.
Let them know how big this world is and how much wealth there is in the distant world.
There is endless money to be made, and there is endless land to be annexed.
Instead of using your strength to fight in the nest, it is better to use it to fight foreign wars.
We need to let them know that greater benefits can be gained from external expansion and development.
Only in this way can the local atmosphere be changed.
As for Canghaijun and King Zhenfan going to Yunyang Mountain to worship their ancestors, in Liu Che's opinion, this is such a good opportunity!
"Issuing to the Governor of the Andong Protectorate: Select fifty people from the land of Qilu who have become rich through gold mining or merchants to reserve them!" Liu Che then issued such an order to the Andong Protectorate.
However, the Qilu incident actually ended here.
The rest is nothing more than the work of Tingwei and Zhijinwu, beheading their heads, dividing their fields, and exiling and relocating the families of criminal officials and scholar-bureaucrats.
These matters are the responsibilities of Zhidu and Zhao Yu.
As the emperor, all Liu Che had to do was to let Chao Cuo supervise, let Prime Minister Zhou Yafu supervise and verify, and at the same time let the Xiuyi Guards get wind of things and prevent them from getting out of hand.
As the emperor, Liu Che had more and more important things to do.
Because spring is coming to an end and summer is coming!
According to the system passed down from three generations: Ji Xia Yue, you can create princes and establish high officials!
In other words, summer is the time when princes and kings are established.
On the twenty-seventh day of the third month of the fourth year of Yuan De (Ren Wu), the Chariot and Cavalry General Dongchenghou Yizong first wrote to Liu Che, saying: The Chariot and Cavalry General and his ministers will die ignorantly before paying homage to His Majesty the Emperor Shu: Your Majesty will carry out the legacy of the late Emperor and receive great benefits.
In the world, I sincerely see that Your Majesty cares about the world, pities the people, deprives the people of food and devalues pleasures, and harms the palace to benefit the world. He never adds gifts, and uses his words to be virtuous and military. He can be called a holy king...
After talking about a lot of things, Yi Zongtu finally put forward his key point: the late emperor had two sons, both of whom were your Majesty's flesh and blood. Your Majesty loved them and did not want to be far away from them, so he forced them to stay in the capital... And the ministers
I don’t dare to overstep my duty due to my own selfish desires... I am obsessed with stealing, and I hope that your majesty will give you an order. Because of the auspicious time of midsummer, the position of the late emperor’s surviving son has been determined early...
In short, it is to request the canonization of Liu Zhi and Liu Ji brothers who have not yet been established as kings.
The memorial arrived in front of Liu Che's imperial censor, and Liu Che immediately gave instructions: Send the imperial censor.
Immediately, the entire government and the public were in a state of excitement.
Compared with the bad things that happened in Qilu before, if you touch it just a little bit, you will accidentally get into trouble.
This matter is undoubtedly something that the ministers are very interested in.
Ever since Liu Che ascended the throne, the officials have been shouting: Can the late emperor’s son stay in the capital? It is better to feudalize him as soon as possible to determine the status of the emperor and his ministers!
For the ministers, the late emperor is already a thing of the past.
The emperor who is currently on the throne is the supreme one.
Since he is the Supreme, those who are in the way should get out of here!
The further you roll, the better!
In short, just don't stay in Chang'an and be an eyesore.
What they need is a reliable and stable bloodline of the emperor who can inherit the throne.
Poor brothers Liu She and Liu Ji, they were bombarded by these guys in turn before they reached adulthood.
The ministers wished they could just go somewhere and fend for themselves.
But Liu Che kept putting it off until today.
Finally, the cavalry general Yi Zong took the lead in charging.
And the emperor also served as a censor.
Instead of staying in the middle and not sending hair like before.
The meaning of this is fascinating.
Of course, even a fool would understand that the emperor wanted to make his two youngest brothers kings.
So what else is there to say?
Countless people immediately followed suit.
The first to keep up with Yi Zong's rhythm were the seven or eight Qian Shi Jiuqing deputies promoted by Liu Chexin.
Shaofu Prime Minister Sima An, Zong Zhengcheng Wen Jin, Shang Dafu Fanxun, Prime Minister Chang Shi Shangrong, etc. immediately submitted letters. After quoting the original text of Yi Zong's memorial, they all praised Yi Zong and said something.
In ancient times, the country was established by splitting the earth. The princes were built together to inherit the emperor, so they respected the ancestors, temples, and communities. Now, the late emperor's son, Zhi, has grown up enough. "Your Majesty, you should take the world as your top priority."
The memorials of these guys were naturally retained.
Generally speaking, the emperor's stay in China had two meanings.
One is, I don’t agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to speak.
The other is: Although what you said makes sense, as an emperor, I am still a bit arrogant.
Liu Che's decision to stay in China this time undoubtedly means the latter.
When things have developed to this point, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and Imperial Censor Chao Cuo can no longer wait and see.
If you wait and see again, you will intend to fight against the emperor.
Therefore, on the third day of April in the fourth year of Yuande (now Chou), the two men jointly discussed the same thing: that it was time to establish the late emperor's son as king.
Moreover, the extended discussions of these two people are even more exciting.
In their mouths, if Liu Che does not quickly make Liu She and Liu Ji kings, everyone in the world will be disappointed.
Therefore, in order to bring peace to the world, "Your Majesty must sacrifice brotherhood."
Therefore, in order to prevent the world from being ‘disappointed’.
Liu Che had no choice but to issue an edict the next day to reply to Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and imperial censor Chao Cuo: Please order the historian to choose an auspicious day, according to etiquette, and the censor will report the map of Kanyu. He told the story as before.
This means enfeoffment.
Of course, in this process, there are also some not-so-sounding voices.
For example, some guys secretly took the opportunity to add personal information to the petition, saying, "The prince built the prince, so he respects the ancestral temple."
These speculators were of course slapped back by Liu Che.
But it also frightened Guantao.
Let her be shocked three times a day.
Fortunately, the emperor seemed to have kept his original promise to hide his beauty in the golden house, and still doted on the queen Chen Ajiao, even to the point of being unseemly.
As a result, although Chen Ajiao has been the queen for four years and is almost thirteen years old this year, she is still as innocent as she was five years ago, like a blank piece of paper.
Guan Tao visited the palace several times before feeling a little relieved.
April 12 (Yimao).
An auspicious day chosen by the historian.
Liu Che ordered Chao Cuo, the imperial censor, to hold a ceremony at the Ancestral Temple to welcome back Liu Bang's clothes in Changling. Then, he asked brothers Liu She and Liu Ji to kneel in front of Liu Bang's clothes, and named Liu She the King of Jiaoxi. He made Gaomi the capital.
Thirteen cities, Liu Ji was made king of Jinan, and he was king of Jinan's fifteen cities.
But because Liu Ji was young, he stayed in Chang'an for two years.
Liu She was asked to leave the country immediately.
On the 15th (Haihai), Jiaoxi, the kingdom of Liu She, the king of Jiaoxi.
On April 18th (Xinsi), Liu Che issued another edict, authorizing Chao Cuo, the imperial censor, to hold another ceremony in the Ancestral Temple. Liu Pengzu was renamed King of Zhao, Liu Sheng was named King of Zichuan, and Jibei Kingdom was merged into Chengyang City and Chengyang City.
Wang Liuxi still ruled Chengyang, but his territory expanded by almost half. Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, became the king of Chengyang, and Liu Bo, the king of Lujiang, became the king of Hengshan.
Huaiyang, Linjiang, and Lujiang were abolished as counties.
Through this set of combined boxing, Liu Che successfully adjusted the power of princes and kings in the world.
At the same time, four big nails were planted in Qilu.
Liu Che doesn't know whether Liu Zhi and Liu Ji will be submissive in the future, but now, these two little brats are just Liu Che's marionettes. Through them, Liu Che can actually lead Jiaoxi and Jinan vertically.
Similar to the municipality method of later generations.
All internal and civil affairs of the two countries were actually handled by Liu Che.
The new King Liu Ci of Zichuan and Liu Xi, King of Chengyang, have always been Chang'an's lapdogs. They will do whatever Chang'an tells them to do.
These four countries occupied almost half of the territory of Old Qi.
The number of people under his rule is nearly four million.
Undoubtedly, it is a platform that Liu Che can operate, change, and experiment with.
Therefore, Liu Che unceremoniously issued another edict three days later and announced: From this year onwards, in the four countries of Chengyang, Zichuan, Jiaoxi, and Jinan, all officials with a hundred stones or less and less than six hundred stones will be appointed as scholars through examination.
, No one can become an official unless he is a scholar.
Centralization of power was strengthened again.
At the same time, it also made the whole world look askance.
There are more than 3,000 jobs in these four countries.
Although many pits have owners.
However, due to the turmoil in Qilu, at least more than a thousand positions were vacated.
From the county captain down to Qiangfu.
These more than a thousand establishments may not be taken seriously by the big nobles and big landowners at all.
but……
Others were drooling and salivating.
What's more, since the posts below the county captain are filled by qualified scholars, what about the vacancies above the county captain?
Isn't it also giving priority to scholars?
There are many people who have been wasting their time between 200 and 400 shi for several years in the city of Chang'an.
These people immediately started to work excitedly and wanted to go to the four countries of Jiaoxi. (To be continued.)
