The nine hundred and thirty-fifth section of the system of the governor (1)
As for the so-called name of Zhongzhou.￥f,
The ministers are also no strangers.
Although Yu paid tribute to nine states in the world, he did not have the name of Zhongzhou.
Among the twelve states of Emperor Yao, there was no central state.
But this does not mean that Zhongzhou does not exist.
Just like the name "China", it has been around since ancient times.
No one needs to deliberately name and strengthen it.
The ancient kings always ruled China and dominated the world.
As for the name of Zhongzhou, as early as the Warring States Period, the Yin Yang family and the astrologer family had already spread the legend.
Not long ago, the most famous Yixue giant in the world, the Japanese Sima Jizhu, released his latest book called "Tianguan Sujie".
As soon as this book was published, it was naturally circulated by nobles and scholar-officials.
In this book, the so-called Zhongzhou concept was clearly proposed for the first time.
According to what Lord Sima Ji said: The lunar eclipse begins on the first day of the month...it starts again in the 11th month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, lunar eclipses are common and solar eclipses are not known. A and B are outside the four seas, and the sun and moon do not occupy
, Bing, Ding, Jianghuai, Haidai. Wu, Ji, Zhongzhou, Heji...
As soon as this book was released, it immediately caused an uproar.
And it caused huge waves in the world of Shilin and Shengun.
Because it denies the common sense that solar and lunar eclipses are warnings and warnings from ‘heaven’ to the king.
Instead, I listed the practical information, quoted all the records of solar and lunar eclipses recorded in Qing History since Zhou Gong summoned the public and took power to this day, and then told the world: Solar and lunar eclipses are not the intention of "Heaven". They are related to the withering of vegetation, the sunset and the rising sun
Generally speaking, it is a natural phenomenon and a cyclical regular event.
Many people were furious, even furious.
But in the end, they all had no choice but to lower their heads.
This is because, in today's world, there is no more authoritative star in astrology and Yi studies than Sima Jizhu.
The top academics have spoken out, how can the scumbags keep chirping?
What's more, the data is complete and informative, and the records of solar and lunar eclipses quoted are all well-documented.
You are just a fool. As long as you see the records listed by others, you will know that solar and lunar eclipses are indeed moving in cycles.
The one most affected by "Tianguan Sujie" is undoubtedly the world of magic sticks.
Alchemists and sorcerers therefore had to adjust their deceptive strategies.
But now, the officials finally know.
The biggest impact is on the DPRK situation.
"Tianguan Sujie" is the pioneer and the emperor's test of scholarly public opinion.
The so-called division of the twelve states that follows immediately is the main meal!
If that's the case...
"You are indeed worthy of being Taizong's designated heir..." Many people murmured in their hearts: "This kind of behavior is almost the same as Taizong!"
He was good at planning and then acting, and was good at using combination punches and combos. This was exactly the impression that Emperor Taizong left on his ministers.
Liu Che did not care about the inner thoughts of his ministers.
He looked at the map.
Originally, he had not thought about implementing the twelve-state system so soon.
In his plan, he should have set up four major protective offices on the four borders first, and then divided the states into states after the construction of the protective offices was completed.
However, the actions and actions of the bureaucrats forced him to come up with the state-by-state system in advance.
Because he knew very well that if the current trend could not be stopped and eliminated immediately.
Then, its impact will be infinite.
It will not only affect the present, but also change the future.
Think about it, as soon as the young scholars who took the exams arrived at the place, they saw that their seniors were busy improving their political achievements, but the court was indifferent.
The brushes are brushing hard one after another, but those who don't brush cannot be promoted.
In this case, will they not swipe?
And once they embark on the road of improving their political performance, these people will become addicts.
Brush from the beginning to the end.
It ends up leaving a huge mess.
Therefore, this unhealthy trend must be corrected and curbed.
However, governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
From the emperor's point of view, if you use the thunderous wind, strike hard and destroy the brush.
It may cause great unrest across the country.
As the saying goes, the law does not blame everyone.
Even the emperor doesn't have many solutions when faced with the collective behavior of thousands of bureaucrats.
When it comes to being tough from the front, Liu Che is the best at being tough.
However, it will inevitably set off the biggest major case since Zhu Luhou.
There are heads rolling in to kill.
Even conservative estimates suggest that tens of thousands of bureaucrats have lost their jobs, thousands of people have been exiled, and at least a thousand heads have fallen to the ground.
It will further intensify the conflict between the emperor as the ruler and the scholar-bureaucrats and landlords below.
It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.
As emperor, Liu Che always established a political principle: attack the small group and unite the majority.
He always knows that he must win the support of the majority.
Only in this way can political stability and national order be ensured.
What's more, at present, the group of scholars who take the exams is only dominant in Guanzhong.
In most other places, the old bureaucracy is still running.
If he acts rashly and kills those bureaucrats, who will help Liu Che maintain local rule?
Therefore, Liu Che’s choice is to kill the chicken and scare the monkey!
Let’s start with Guanzhong. Anyway, the number of scholars in Guanzhong already has an absolute advantage at the grassroots level.
Today, there are fifty-three of the sixty-eight counties in Guanzhong, and more than 70% of the positions are occupied by scholars.
Taking this opportunity to use the guise of Zhongzhou to kill the remaining old bureaucrats, especially the nepotistic grassroots bureaucrats, is of course the first choice.
"In Guanzhong, the majority of people (in the examination and promotion subsystem) are bound to be happy to see that small group of people (old grassroots bureaucrats) suffer misfortune!" Liu Che thought to himself.
And the Zhongzhou that was thrown out actually existed to crack down on and hold accountable those scoundrels, local powerful people, and government officials.
The same is true for the twelve states.
"I will appoint the governor of the state to supervise the counties and countries of the world!" Liu Che looked at the ministers, opened his hands and said: "Considering that there is no precedent, I will try it out in Zhongzhou first!"
"Place a governor of Zhongzhou with a rank of two thousand stones to oversee the entire territory of Zhongzhou, including all local counties and counties except Chang'an and the tombs of the late emperors!"
"The position of the governor is based on my orders, and under the pretense of my authority, I travel around the prefectures and counties, supervise and handle lawsuits, whether it is possible to depose the governor, and decide and resolve unjust cases. I ask questions according to the six articles. If the questions are not asked by the articles, the local officials will not bother!"
Liu Che confidently said to the ministers: "One rule: make the clan strong and powerful, use the strong to bully the weak, and use the masses to oppress the few!"
This is the national policy of the Liu family that has remained unchanged for decades.
Resolutely attack and eliminate powerful local clans and safeguard the supremacy of state power.
No family law or private law is allowed to override national law.
Furthermore, no family or powerful family is allowed to control local politics.
Anyone who dares to violate this rule will be killed even if he is a prince or a relative!
"Two Articles: Two thousand stones and local officials do not follow the imperial edict, obey the law, turn against the public for private purposes, ignore the edicts to keep profit, invade the people, and gather money for traitors!"
This is the sharp edge that cuts through the bureaucracy.
Moreover, Liu Che specifically emphasized "obeying the law" and "obeying edicts and observing benefits."
His attitude was actually to ask the governor to help him clean up those brushes.
If we follow this rule, none of those who report false or arbitrary data will be able to escape.
However, when the governor handles the case, the result is different than when the emperor issues an edict and the three divisions manage the case.
It is the job of the governor to make corrections.
Identify problems and deal with them promptly and reasonably.
More importantly, if the impact is not particularly bad, the person will usually be dismissed from his post and allowed to go home and farm.
In this way, the means are limited to relatively gentle and gentle normal personnel appointments and removals, rather than life-and-death political strife.
If so, those brushers are still dissatisfied and want to make big news.
Then Liu Che would definitely not mind letting the army take action and use swords and guns to teach them how to behave. Although in fact, this kind of thing is impossible to happen in Guanzhong. Since Liu Bang established the capital of Chang'an, all the rebellions that have occurred in Guanzhong are usually caused by the rebels who have not yet raised the flag.
The flag was suppressed by the local rosettes, tour guides and even the chief of the pavilion.
Huainan Li Wang Liu Chang was such a tragedy who was suppressed by low-level officials.
"Three Articles: Two thousand stones and local officials, from Qiang Fu or above, not caring about suspicious cases, using harsh punishments, extorting confessions illegally, interrogating soldiers and people, disturbing and violent, ripping off Li Yuan, apportioning money randomly, causing harm to the people, causing landslides and rocks to crack, and using evil words to confuse people.
Everyone!"
This is still a heavy blow against bureaucrats and powerful people.
Before today, Liu Che had taken back the power of local officials to execute criminals.
The right to review the death penalty of all criminals has been taken back by Liu Che.
Life and death can be snatched from him in a single thought.
Of course, it is impossible for Liu Che to take care of so much.
This kind of recycling is only a nominal withdrawal by the emperor.
In fact, for general capital punishment, it is up to the Tingwei to decide whether to execute it, and then report it to Lantai for filing.
Only for those major and important cases, Liu Che would personally review the case files and submit them to the ministers for discussion and final decision on whether to approve them.
However, although the local officials lost the pleasure of being able to kill people at will, they were still very happy to use torture to extract confessions.
There are many perverts in this world who like to torture people.
The Han Code did not stipulate any restrictions on torture to extract confessions.
This further encouraged local officials to use torture at will.
What should you do if you don't speak when you meet a suspect? Torture him!
What should I do if I don’t accept the sentence? I’ll torture him!
A certain landowner actually resisted the government? He was tortured!
Although corporal punishment was abolished in Han punishment, flogging and other punishments could still kill people.
As many as a thousand suspects and civilians have been beaten to death in the lobby in the past four years!
This is only reported by the local officials.
If there is no report, I don’t know how many there are.
But this violated Liu Che's taboo.
Ordinary people are just ignorant or illiterate and accidentally break the law, so you beat them to death?
And this was unacceptable to Liu Che.
An adult farmer would provide Liu Che with a head tax of 120 yuan and a draft tax of 20 to 30 yuan every year.
In addition, he will also serve and spend money.
Not to mention, every adult man is now a soldier.
Was he beaten to death by you just like that?
Liu Che will definitely not do it.
As for local officials arbitrarily assigning and collecting taxes at will, this has a long history.
At the beginning, before Liu Che came to the throne, Henan County killed Liu Che's envoys because they discovered that they actually collected taxes four times a year.
This is still Henan County!
The Eastern Capital of the Han Dynasty is located, and it has always been a place directly under the central government.
Other counties and counties may have similar situations, but only a little more.
If not, with the tax burden imposed by Emperor Liu in the past thirty years, how could the common people go bankrupt so quickly?
Do you really think that the land of those big landowners in the vast distances is really the result of their hard work and hard work?
Liu Che dare not say that he will stop this trend.
But they must not be allowed to be too arrogant or too blatant.
The burden on the people can be reduced a little, just a little.
Liu Che knew very well that if we really want to solve this problem, we cannot rely solely on the country and the law.
If the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?
The same goes for bureaucrats.
This is especially true for landowners.
Human nature is to pursue profit.
For the sake of profit, these guys are not just exploiting the people and fighting against the country.
Even those who betray the country can prosper.
I want these guys to take their claws away from the farmers and the poor.
The only way is to find a new target for them to exploit.
For example, workers and proletariat...
Otherwise, the country's wars and tit-for-tat confrontations with the bureaucracy and local powerful forces will never end.
Between each other, the way is always higher than the devil, and the devil is always higher than the way!
Haven’t you seen that even future generations will have to wait until the new century to put an end to arbitrary apportionment and tax collection in rural areas?
Do you think the bureaucrats suddenly have a conscience?
hehe.
In fact, they found a better target for exploitation, the house slave.
It only cost a few hundred yuan to fuck the mud-legged guy for half a day, and it also caused a lot of sluts.
How quickly the land sells!
Easily earn tens of millions or billions.
You can drive BMWs, Mercedes-Benz and Audis at will, and build magnificent buildings at will.
Therefore, Liu Che is already prepared for a long-term tug of war with these guys.
This is also part of the rules of the game.
It's like a tug of war.
The emperor and the central government are at this end, the bureaucrats, landlords and nobles are at the other end, and the common people are the red flowers in the middle.
If the emperor exerts more force, the life of the common people will become more comfortable; if the bureaucrats, landlords and nobles exert more force, their lives will become more embarrassing.
If the emperor lets go of the rope, it will be like what happened in the Eastern Han and Song and Ming dynasties.
The result, of course, is that the common people cry bitterly and a large number of people go bankrupt.
Liu Che looked at the ministers and continued: "Four rules: husband two thousand stones and local officials, select officials, give and receive privately, appoint in violation of regulations, promote indiscriminately!"
This is also a stubborn disease that cannot be eliminated.
Who doesn’t play nepotism?
Even the emperor plays it!
Therefore, we can only crack down on this matter as much as possible, and restrict it as much as possible.
Doing it is always better than not doing it!
"Five Articles: Two Thousand Stones and the sons of princes rely on their power to run rampant and lawless, in the land of fish and meat!" Liu Che glanced at the princes and ministers present: "Those who accept invitations privately, mess up the laws, and break the laws!"
To be honest, it is normal for the second generation to rely on the power of their father and family to benefit themselves.
Some guys even became famous for it.
He was praised for his ability to do things with money.
For example, Guantao, Guantao, Guantao.
But this was something Liu Che couldn't bear.
The power and country belong to me, and you actually invade my rights?
What do you want to do?
"Six Articles: Local officials are in cahoots with powerful men, accept bribes, and discuss state affairs arbitrarily!"
There is nothing to say about Liu's strong and powerful nature. This has always been the target of Liu's attack.
But accepting bribes and arbitrarily discussing state affairs made the officials feel a little sick.
Who has never been bribed?
Who has never complained about national policies in private? (To be continued.)
